Hey man... ditto everything that has been has said above. It does get better. I didn't get suicidal thoughts until I stopped drinking. it was between days 30 and 60 for me. I thought man, I didn't get sober for this. My sponsor says suicidal thoughts are like the RAM crashing on your computer. There is just too much stuff running in our minds at one time. Please recognize it for what it is, a temporary symptom. (Might wanna see a psych about it, or really open up to someone else in recovery... nothing to play around with) The brain fog lifts after about 2.5 or 3 months but its different for everyone. Step work like everyone has said has helped me immensely. Yeah I started drinking when I was 16 and in some ways I still feel that age. We gotta try to be positive though right--at least we are adressing this when we are young. (i'm 21 your 23) I know people 40+ in AA who say they still feel like a teenager in maturity. It does get better... humbly on day 118.
