11 days sober and the hardest part is how alone it feels

11 days in and i didn’t expect the loneliness to hit harder than the cravings. friends don’t check in, family just kinda shrugs, and people around me don’t get why even a single day sober feels like a win.

what’s been keeping me sane is literally just watching the counter go up on my phone. it shows the hours, the days, even little quotes that remind me i’m not crazy for feeling like this. there’s a panic button on it too, i’ve pressed it more times than i thought i would.

idk… maybe this is just me venting, but it feels like i’m fighting the biggest battle of my life and no one around me even notices.
