I feel completely numb inside...kinda empty too. I'm alive and sober...better than nothing I guess

I felt like this right after I got home from rehab. I went back to work for 2 weeks and boom, the pink cloud burst. The Oct 14th was my last day at work because i didnt have the care, willing or energy to do anything. I started my IOP classes and told my therapist what i was feeling and boom I found out that im not crazy and it has a name. Anhedonia, thats a real feeling and occurs during the firs 120 days.. you are not alone. Keep fighting thru it, its light at the other side. Sorry so long. You got this. I believe in you

I've been grieving over someone close to my heart who was my Aunt but more mom than Aunt. I buried her last Friday and was one of her pallbearers

You will feel numb for a bit but what’s really important is that you have kept your sobriety! You are doing great. Hang in there.

I was emotionally number for almost 40 years. I got sober 4 years ago. I struggled a lot at first it does get better Everything gets so much better. You get to live your life you get to have feelings again and they are good! Embrace your community go to meeting meet people get involved learn how to enjoy yourself again.. it will come you will see.

I've been grieving. It's not my sobriety that I'm struggling with. I'm struggling with loss,a broken heart
