Hi Stacy - Welcome and boy can I relate. The first few weeks that I was sober, I was literally glued to this site. I came on here, went to work, came home and then came here. Insomnia was and still is pretty bad for me, so I'm often here till the wee hours of the morning rather then trying to battle
the ongoing war with lack of sleep. I have 62 days today and things have
gotten better, but there are still a bunch of emotional ups and downs. That can be exhausting.

I literally am going to have to reinvent my whole life. Drinking consumed it for a long, long time. Sometimes I am happy about it and sometimes the thought of it overwhelms me. I'm so used to being alone (I've isolated for a long time), that I don't feel lonely anymore, but do get cranky and what I call antsy pantsy and want all these changes to happen right this very minute.

I like what artsoul had to say in her post, because I find it true for me too.
Sorry I don't have more to offer you, but maybe we can explore this new world of sobriety together, what do you say?
