Mid life crisis? Maybe? 🤔

Going through some stuff in my life that hasn’t really affected my sobriety yet, but I feel like it may come to that point.. just wanted to share my thoughts with you all to see if anyone else has had to deal with this sort of thing. Just turned 44 a couple of weeks ago, 97 days sober..I have tried this way of life many times before…and the result was nil until I let go absolutely. Trying to remember that I am dealing with alcohol…cunning, baffling, powerful. I pray to my higher power for understanding in hopes that this is an uncomfortable change for the better. I just feel like my thoughts are all over the place..not regulating my emotions, assuming my thoughts have a bit of truth behind them. Trying to come to the conclusion that a sober life does not always mean a happy life, I get it that life shows up and I must live it on its own terms. I must continue to do the work and believe that this to shall pass. This has been the toughest 90 days I have ever endured while in the program. My faith and my trust in my higher power keeps my eyes forward, but have to admit, this is a hard time for me, and I wonder if anyone can share any kind of experience with this, thanks.

A blessed day to all!

Do the work and get the results. No one promised these steps would make my life better, but they did promise they'd make me better at life. Reread the 9th step promises. If I'm working a solid program, they hold true for me.

Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing. It does get better.
