Saying hello!
Hey folks,
Thought I'd get off my duff and post something. I stumbled on this site a few days after I quit drinking -- about four months ago. I was in the middle of a massive anxiety meltdown and I have to say reading all the stories here helped a lot. I'm going to AA, have a sponsor and have started working the steps.
But it's slow going. Speaking at meetings -- or even posting -- is a big deal for me. I self-censor constantly. And I've yet to experience this so-called pink cloud! I'm usually in some kind of funk. Found myself taking a lot of deep breaths even at yesterday's women's meeting, where I'm usually pretty calm. I just felt crappy and didn't say anything because I sure as heck didn't have any hope to share. More like I didn't want to pollute the good vibe in the room.
Bleh. One day at a time, eh?
