Hi GP! it sucks doesn't it? my pink cloud lasted about 2 months and then crashed. doing the work in the program gets grim too, when you start digging up your past and trying to remember things you thought you'd forgotten. it's a little daunting to realize that this whole thing isn't as easy as you thought it might be. i'd say i had about a month of very serious non-pink-cloud--not that i felt the need to drink, but i think i was treading around not realizing what an enemy this alcohol-thing was. keep working through it. it gets better. go to meetings. work your program. speak with your sponsor. i'm still pretty new (dos: 7/24/06) so i suspect that life takes you on these highs and lows...
take good care of yourself. you can do it. (but that pink cloud thing was great while it lasted, wasn't it? there are others who've encouraged me by saying it comes back. and truly, life is pretty good right now. for me the biggest challenge is keeping up the discipline of working the program daily. my sponsor says it's like exercise. gotta keep it up or you'll get out of shape and be more likely to get injured. wise woman, my sponsor.
take good care of yourself. you can do it. keep on keeping on!
