F*****-up story…please be constructive (but also open & direct)
With my wife for 14 years, 2 kids under 8y - both under a lot of pressure bc Covid/work/private life/… and have been (unconsciously) running away from our couple not working “since a long time” (dixit my wife). We want to try and fix it, but I also met someone new (not sure if she would even want me) and wondering if it’s worth fixing it (since we are trying/running/avoiding it for years) - just worried about the kids…any advice

Just taking the opportunity to get current. Sober 3 years and 10 months. This past couple weeks have been stressful and my mind slipped into fantasizing about my drug of choice. Last week I flipped out at some of my wife's family. I did an amends and I think time will heal this one. It's all up to HP. Although I have neglected my morning practice this week, I'm practicing self compassion with positive self talk.

My therapist just told me I'm depressed..do you ever feel like they tell you things you hear a lot or could have figured out on your own?

Do you ever have moments where you're like wow that actually is eye opening and I wouldn't have gotten that from reading self help books and websites etc?

Hey everyone. Happy to come across this bowl. I got sober in the pandemic so it was a relatively easy transition due to the lack of temptation or pressure to partake in social gatherings. For those of you who have been sober longer and also have an active social life, do you have tips on the transition? Did you seek out new friends or just change the way you hung out with existing ones
