Almost one month of sobriety
I have a lot of sadness, loneliness, no motivation all…which hits me all at once everyday the past 3 evenings in a row.
It felt like i was finally feeling no urge but i feel like im so down all the time. I tried being around others, but at the end i wanted to isolate and not be around any body. Not bc of them…but bc i just feel annoyed at every little thing. It makes me struggle being in my own body cus i know im not myself.
Dory I understand. You are definitely doing the best thing by reaching out in this group. Even just expressing your feelings and writing them down is huge for me. We are all going through what you were going through. Some of us are a different stages. We all just have 24 hours ahead of us. I found that having hobbies and constantly being busy with something helps. Thank you for posting and I wish you the best of luck.
I completely understand what you’re going through. I was 7 months sober and relapsed. I was feeling all of those things before I relapsed and now that I have started drinking again I’m still feeling those things but for a different reason, that I’m drinking again. My depression is even worse bc of it too. I need to have a reset and get myself sober again. There’s so many emotions we go through and it’s hard but sobriety is so important and worth it. Hang in there. Embrace your sobriety. I’ve done it once and I know I can do it again. I wish you the best of luck and success on your journey.
Thank you sm this was very helpful
I’m sorry you’re going through that
You’re stronger than you think
I know you’re more than capable of pick yourself back up.
You most definitely can do it again
Like they said a lot of us go through that uncomfortable and annoyed phase. For me I realized I was always kinda like that but just used alcohol to change my feelings and never really learned how to deal with it on my own. And man it tucked for awhile, it still gets crazy upstairs but with practice I deal with it in a healthy way. Progress not perfection
