Do any of you get "weird" around your sobriety date?

[IO Storm]

Hey Tan...

I would have eaten green beans if they would have changed the way I felt.

I sure can relate to that..addicted to Valium..then Xanax..then alcohol and weed,

and diet pills. It reminds me of a term they used in the 60's..turn on and drop out.

I didn't use LSD but ..it was bad enough!

Everyone said great stuff..

Horselover said what I would have shared with you, Tan.

I think its normal to think back wistfully on those days, but then our rational voice takes over and tells us how it REALLY was. How we REALLY effected those we loved.

And..how it affected us. My bottom almost killed me. (shudder)

All I have to do is remember the last day. And today is not so bad..the using and drinking dream

is not so great! lol

Yes..I get "antsy" on anniversaries..but it is not limited to those. There are other triggers.

The last day. What happened..and how it is today. It always helps.

Love you Tan.

And congrats on your clean and sober time!

great topic tan....my 2 year is coming up as well and i've been feeling..hmmm..just generally out of sorts...my sponsor said the same thing i've heard here...sometimes around anniversaries there is a depression or anxiety that we don't normally have...good time to reach out to other alkies and definitely a great time for a gratitude list...i've been doing one every day in my head..i also think back to my last drunk, the ride in the ambulance, the surgery, etc...and i know i definitely don't want to go back there!!
Congrats on 2 yrs!! Awesome!

Thanks everyone!

I did go to the psych dr yesterday. I am not starting on any anti-depressants at this time

I am going to take Omega 3 fish oil. It is believed to have anti depressant qualities. (who knew??)

And he game me and RX for a folic acid that helps to open the receptors in the brain that the dopamine goes into.

I will keep you updated.

Tomorrow is my big day! : ONLY by God's grace........
