Some anxiety - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

loudog430 · 02-09-2012, 08:21 PM

I'll be ending day 6 tonight. Beginning day 7 tomorrow and will have to hurdle over the first weekend without being a warrior (in respect to drinking that is). I've been very back forth with my relations with God and my beliefs. I get scared, nervous, anxious about what is the point of all of this.

I wonder if it slightly exacerbated by some minor W/D from alcohol. (I was never a constant, day to day drinker, just sporadic binging so I know I won't suffer from major W/D. Also, I have gone over a month without alcohol before with no danger) Also, I have recently broke up with my girlfriend for some personal time, soul searching and to avoid alcohol.

I'm just having a lot of mixed feelings. One day I am glad to be alive, but then the next I feel its an endless cycle. I am in no way thinking of suicide, but I freak myself out a bit on wondering what is in store for us....all those typical life mysteries. I figure once I am far, far away from alcohol, my reality will be improving, and I will enjoy life a lil more day by day.

The first days are rough. Emotions all over the scale. It will even out with time.

Hang in there.

God bless.
