Hey Donny,

I am glad to hear you are doing ok. Cngratulations on the six months of sobriety through thick and thin! I think all of us come to discover that life doesn't stop happening just because we got sober. It's what we do after that discovery that makes the difference.

It is hard to see my recovery happening on a day by day basis but looking back six months or a year or two, it is definitely happening. Actually stopping drinking made such an immediate difference that I wanted all of recovery to work the same way but sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly as they say. I must remember that I didn't reach my bottom in one day or six months or six years, so it makes sense that I wouldn't get all recovery has to offer as soon as I want it.

I do remember the "brain zaps" that occurred after I stopped taking Paxil. Very odd, but they did go away after a couple weeks.
