When does the residual anxiety from Sunday Funday all-day-drinkathons go away? I haven’t done that in YEARS but only 9 months into sobriety, and all of a sudden I’m getting CRAZY Sunday Scaries every week and this is all I can think of that it comes from.

Yeah Allie, but think about how rough those Monday’s were after. Sometimes mine would go into Tuesday too. I didn’t get shi! done. Just a never ending cycle of poo.

I'm like 10 months and I'm with John: try to think about how awesome the next day is comparatively!!!

What are "Sunday Scaries"? Everyday is quite frightening if you really look at it..I mean unless you wake up and Say I'm own the s*** out of today and look for the positive in every situation. The ones I don't see, I will look harder because GOOD is just waiting to be found. Don't focus on Sunday when it's only Wednesday.. just focus on what you can control and that's this moment. Best to you and still curious about what "Sunday Scaries" are..
It will take time for thing to go a way.meetings-meetings.

I don’t think my “ sundays scaries,” are related to my old drinking/drug use. I still have them and I think it’s just anxiety from starting a new work week. Most of us have general anxiety and it can spark from numerous things. Usually stems from negative thinking. It’s really hard to transition to positive thinking, but an improvement does wonders for anxiety.
How are your Sundays now?
Are you working the steps?
This was critical for me in my early sobriety.
