I hate the feeling of being bored, and the old me would have just drank away that feeling. Now in sobriety, we have to face that feeling and sit with our thoughts. It's a tough adjustment, and I honestly don't have a ton of advice to offer.Today, I am venting... sharing something I still struggle with. Sobriety gets easier with time, but I'm still learning every day.Join our online support group for free: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1G4KhSoxBx/

Dating Life in Sobriety | flirtation, first dates, and finding the one
I'm not going to lie, dating feels so weird without my comfort blanket. I used to drink alcohol in order to feel comfortable flirting with guys, making the first move, or to get through the first date jitters... and now I don't have that. So dating and flirting feels weird.I've had a lot of "firsts" in sobriety, but dating is still not crossed off the list. I am loving life right now on my own, so it's tough to get in the mindset of bringing someone else into my little world. But I know it'll happen eventually.In this episode, we talk about some little flirtatious glimmers I've had over the last year of being single and sober + we talk about why it's different to date as a sober person.
