25 days today. I am becoming aware that it is often how I handle the down times that will be important to my sobriety. I had a nice Thanksgiving, but have been feeling depressed about a couple of things in my life. Prior to my sobriety, I acted impulsively to rid myself of feeling bad, and this impulsive behavior often made things worse. If I can just remember to sit with my depression and go to bed without doing anything stupid, I usually feel better the next day, EVEN THOUGH I MAY NOT BELIEVE THIS AT THE TIME. In other words, sometimes it is just making it through bad days and getting to the next day.

Exactly and believe me that just because we get sober does not mean that everyday is smooth sailing. Life still throws us curve balls but nothing is worth picking up that first drink. All things are transient and shall pass.

you have had an immense amount to deal with. if you weren't feeling it something would be wrong. it's black friday. do something for yourself.
