I see this all too often, and I'm guilty of this myself. When we're in the beginning stages of our sobriety, we may compare our lives to those who are farther down the road in their journey. The thoughts of...
ππ»I'm gaining weight, but all I see are women who have lost weight from being sober.
ππ»She looks so happy, and I'm miserable.
ππ»She started her own business, and I can barely attend to the basics of handling the kids and myself.
ππ»Her skin is glowing, and my face is breaking out like I'm a teenager again.
ππ»She's sharing her journey with the world, and I haven't even told my friends I had a problem with my drinking.
I'm sure many of you have said a few of these or others when it comes to comparing your day 1 with someone's year 2 or your year 3 with someone else's. But to be frank, you have to stop that sh*t! We all have different circumstances and levels of how dependent we were on alcohol.
The only thing that matters is YOUR journey.
The progress that you're making from one day to the next.
NOT comparing your progress to someone else's. We don't know their behind the scenes or story just like they don't know yours, so as they would say in school, keep your eyes on your own paper.
Keep striving towards the goals YOU want from becoming sober.
Having a hard time getting sucked into the comparison trap? ππ»
