We're really glad to have you with us CW.
It's so good to not be alone with the struggle. I was so relieved to find SR.
I felt very strange for the first 3 months. I had been so used to masking my feelings and using alcohol to cope. All it did was make things much worse - but it took me a while to adjust to the 'new normal' of sobriety. No more getting numb and foggy - which is a good thing, but takes some getting used to. You will heal and begin to feel brighter and have more hope. Stay with us - you're among friends who care.
