While I find all the “dry” challenges and sober curious trends encouraging, I wonder if this new hip thing of trying out sobriety is an innocent health initiative or a glimpse at just how many people are quietly questioning their relationship with alcohol.
I’ve been wondering lately if my recovery has stalled. In early sobriety changes seemed to happen much more frequently. Little things like wanting to move more, yoga, paying attention to my eating habits all began slowly but I felt them happen in my body, mind and spirit. It was present. Proof I was doing well and making progress. Lately, I haven’t felt much of anything and long for some reassurance I’m still moving forward and not stuck, doomed to repeat history.
