Day 4 and feeling reclusive
So I've made it four days without a drink or drug which is probably more than I can recall in the last 8 years. I've been mostly feeling good except for some mood swings and obsessive thinking about a recent situation I was in right before I entered recovery. I've been going to a meeting every day. I suddenly feel really reclusive though. This is really unlike me. Half the reason I was always out drinking is because I hated being alone. I couldn't even stay home to have a coffee in the mornings because I wanted to be around people and see friends. Suddenly, I find myself wanting to hide in my house and not see anyone at all. I feel like no one is my friend ( even people I didn't use with ) and I just feel like dropping off the grid. Anyone else experience this? It's honestly so foreign to me because I've never in my 30 years felt this way. Is this normal? It seems extreme but I can't help it. I wonder if I will want to be social again or this will last...
