What helped you get back to feeling normal in early recovery? I’m feeling very lost and out of place. Trying to get some sense of feeling like I can do a normal task without it feeling wrong or uncomfortable. I feel like an abnormality that doesnt belong in the present.
Everything feels out of place in the beginning everything is raw especially emotions it does get better with time. Try to do some meditation gratitude journal exercise or journal

The thing about early recovery is you are learning how to do everything again. You have to train your brain how to do tasks without being on a substance, and that can feel new and weird and strange. It can throw you off and at times feel like you are doing the task wrong even if you aren’t. As hard as it is, just keep going.

I did lots of service work in H&I. Went to lots of meetings. Many of us felt or feel abnormal and uncomfortable. However, I felt better being around people that felt similar to me. Also I learned lots from the people that got passed all that.
I’m here if you want to talk or have questions.
