Sorry you are feeling that way, sneeker. It will pass, I promise!

I am going at this sobriety thing alone too. The only person I have shared my alcoholism with was my doctor--not my friends or loved ones (I was a secret drinker--hiding the quantity of alcohol consumed from everyone). My doctor didn't exactly give me emotional support, but she was understanding, non-judgmental and did listen--which helped. I think it helped me to actually say that I had a drinking problem out loud to another human being. Somehow that helped the reality of it resonate within me.

I have been doing yoga, meditation and breathwork. It really helps when I feel stress, or that "unsettled" feeling you mention, coming on. Even just 2 or 3 minutes of mindful breathing helps.

I wish you a joy and peace today.
