treading water?
I haven't had a drink in nearly 8 weeks and I find myself just as confused as the last day I had a drink. I am going to meetings yet I find myself not focusing as much since I am no longer physically ill. I have had set backs in my life since I have started this road...lost my job, my relationship ended and severed ties with all my friends (really I see alcohol affected all of those things long before I started this path)
I find myself thinking in the first few weeks I felt the progress was much up front, but now I feel there is no movement forward. I am afraid I will lose focus on this struggle if I don't figure out want is going on. Do I just force myself to find new things to do since all my life all I did is drink and use drugs? Should I just start talcking problems and forget about where I am. I am trying to listen at meetings and see what works for others, but it I find myself walking away just as confused as when I walked in.
