Bozo123, I'm sorry you're having a rough day. I had many of those in the beginning, but I promise all that anxiety will ease up. Be kind to yourself & don't get frustrated - you'll go through many phases as your mind & body heal.

Bbr, Thanks for the uplifting post. I agree with everything you said. I always worry that people in early recovery won't give it enough time - it's easy to be discouraged, in the beginning months especially.

I was happy when I stopped obsessing over not drinking. I did that for months, and finally one day I realized I hardly thought about it. I stopped wondering how I was going to get by without alcohol & started to actually enjoy experiencing life without being numb. Now I can't believe I spent so many years in a sort of coma, mostly unaware. That's all over now, though - onward we go.
