I came across this post purely by chance on my 31st day sober. I feel exactly the same way about all aspects mentioned. I am finding the emotional aspects that have come with my first month sober to be the most challenging. Also I have eaten so much sugary food this month that I feel the accomplishment of staying sober has been lessened by being so unhealthy. Hoping that this will get better and that I can find the willpower for my diet too.

You and I are on about the same time line. Tonight is day 31 sober for me after making a new years resolution to stay sober. I can say that right now I am kind of an emotional rollercoaster. At times I feel really hopeful about my life and the future of sobriety. I see myself feeling and looking good and being a good father and husband. Other times I am filled with a kind of an anxiety because I worry about going back to my old ways and kind of a hopeless feeling... even though I am in control, it is hard to explain.
Maybe someone else can help me understand what I am feeling?
