Well, some good news, I'm still doing fine with my sobriety. My only problems are:
- It seems like it's been one year, or maybe even never, since I've had a drinking problem. I just don't think about it unless prompted (see an advertisement or somebody talk about it). I keep visiting SR just to keep it in mind.
- All that physic energy I had wrapped around drinking boomeranged and dumped into "well, now that you are sober, why isn't your life awesome?" See item above. I have to keep reminding myself it's only been 4 weeks and that's no time at all. Baby steps... baby steps.
- My social anxiety appeared last week and even shows up just sitting at home doing nothing. I'm not sure what is causing this. I'm trying different things but it's interesting that alcohol is not causing my anxiety. I thought it was, and maybe it did, and we're back to item one again. Just give it time. I need ONE YEAR, not one month.
My new idea this week is just to let it go. "Things happen in their own time". What's my hurry? I'm staying sober.
So three more months is my next goal. October is going to be a big month for me. I'm thrilled that I'll be sober to enjoy it!
