It was so bad last nightâŠI literally realized why drinking was so good âŠI could avoid thinking but then I was drunking..,but the thinking is crazy now ! I compare ocd thoughts to taking a drink because if I take a thought I spiral so I try to look at it that way . But itâs so fucking hard the anxiety that comes with it. đđ»

It is awesome. I canât tell you how peaceful and fulfilling life is with total clarity of mind. I did not have daily dependency, but I was a severe binge drinker, hospitalized/ blacking out/ puking, even started a fight once in college. Now my life is very wholesome; so good, I often feel I do not deserve it. The only struggle now is fighting the self-doubt, but itâs definitely worth it. I hope it works out for you all, too đșđș

Amazing! I was also binge drinker and I suffered with an eating disorder and now Iâm struggling with harm OCD but the one thing Iâm reminded of in my AA meetings is that if I wasnât sober I wouldnât be able to work on the OCD and this is where I need to work very hard because this is to me is equally as difficult! there is such a great amount of truth in emotional sobriety as well so Iâm so happy to hear youâre doing so wellâŠ. keep up the good work!!!

Thank you all for commenting. Iâm in AA too, coming up on 10 years. Sometimes I get intrusive thoughts about drinking, theyâre just like my other intrusive thoughts. Like youâre gonna drink again, youâre hopeless, youâll die from alcohol. Its insane. Because Iâm very involved in AA and very open about my thoughts. That one really freaks me out though :( I have no desire to drink but itâs like my ocd knows thatâs my biggest fear and starts doing that, on top of the other themes I have.

I feel so broken
Hi all. It is my first week on here and I donât think I was anticipating how broken I would feel when I started this process. I hope I can do this, but I have been at listening to these obsessions about my health for 30 of my 45 years on the planet. I thought I had things more together, but this year has been real bad for so many reasons and my cracks are really showing. I am not sure what my question is..maybe I just need to know people have come back from where I am.

OCD recovery
I think Iâm in the recovery stage as my thoughts have settled so much & I only get intrusive thoughts on occasion and get worse only when Iâm anxious, but the quietness in my brain feels so weird & I feel awful saying that because all I wanted was the thoughts to stop. This is the most quiet itâs been itâs over 7 months, so to go from non stop thoughts for a long time to quietness I donât know how to take it. Has anyone else felt like this in recovery
