Couldn’t retweet this enough if I tried!! AA does not work for me, but does for thousands of others. Recovery is recovery, regardless of method. Kindness speaks

#RecoveryPosse, some here seem to insist on holding the struggling and newly sober to their own strict standards, often based in AA. Don't get me wrong. I LOVE AA. It works for me. But, people here aren't necessarily in AA. Can't we just help, support, encourage, and not judge?

Calling the doctors is such a long winded process these days. Fully understand the strikes what everything else with nhs workers

@cheeky_brit I’d quite like to be able to chose both B&D 😂

[Sober Kara @SoberKara]

How do you go about finding your voice and actually using it again?

Found this so challenging, like I can’t speak and if I do I’m terrified.

[Sober Kara @SoberKara]

@mentalmidget20 It goes to just what’s the quickest way to slience your pain, we both know it’s drink/drugs do that. Learning to ignore that is power, which is what you have

@ASoberLady Hi my name is Kara and I’m an alcoholic. Kinda hate saying this now, I’ve turned away from AA as it hasn’t helped me, although helped many others. I’ve found another path. Yet still saying that sentence gives me a kinda freedom and a weight lifted

[Sober Kara @SoberKara]

The fact that I keep on falling back and relapsing only means that I’m missing something in my journey. I need to find it. I need to find it now

[Sober Kara @SoberKara]

The beginning is always the hardest most trying time, I’ve gotten through it before but each time the feelings of hopelessness get worse. My addiction, wants to kill me. Addictions want to kill.

[Sober Kara @SoberKara]

@james_pepe247 You can get through this, walking through the rocky paths will make you shine in the end

[Sober Kara @SoberKara]

Solely relying on AVRT now to get me through this

[Sober Kara @SoberKara]

Making changes to everything is tough, but pushing through and making them

[Candice Marie @she_observes]

I hope you find a love that you don't have to question.

[Sober Kara @SoberKara]

@Falyn_Nicole Unfortunately not just the USA, the UK is in a similar position. It’s all F***** tbh no idea how any one is meant to survive

[Sober Kara @SoberKara]

The addictions starting to rear it’s ugly head “it’s your fault your sad, you might as well have a drink” “you’d feel better” Nice to recognise these for what they are, praying to battle through.

[Sober Kara @SoberKara]

Feeling really alone today, no motivation. Feel the sadness creeping back in

[Sober Kara @SoberKara]

@sober_laddi Thank you 😊

[Sober Kara @SoberKara]

This time last week I was drinking, about to lose everything. This week, I’ve hopefully just smashed a job interview and starting to get my life back on track

[Chloe Bellerby @ChloeBellerbyMH]

I wish I was better at letting people in. I have such a bad habit of pushing people away and keeping everyone at a distance when in reality what I really need is to feel loved and to know that I’m not dealing with it all on my own

[Sober Kara @SoberKara]

I’ve got a job interview on Thursday. Sober days really do make a difference

[Sober Kara @SoberKara]

Day 4: Making phone calls, and being productive today. Despite wanting to cry I’m trying to lift my mood and mind by being busy
