Hi,
The first two months of my recovery were difficult in that the first two weeks I was constantly bothered with cravings that were very intense, and painful to overcome...I surrounded myself with the folks of AA and came here everyday...I believe this is what saved me from picking up a drink...
I also suffered with depression, mental confusion, lack of appetite, and mood swings...The most difficult was my intense anger...
WHY did I have to have this disease called alcoholism?
After about a month I convinced myself just to BELIEVE that this would become easier...
It is going on ten months of recovery and yes, things did get easier...Even though I am still picking up the pieces of my broken past through drinking, my life has taken on a peaceful way of life that I never thought was possible...
