Yes - I'm still on a rollercoaster. Up and down. The first few weeks it felt like I had more ups, but now it almost feels like I've settled into a mild depression from obsessing about not being able to drink. I hope it passes with time, but I too feel like I'm always fighting my negative me. I've seen a therapist but its expensive and I feel like he tells me the same stuff he's told me a thousand times before.
40th Bday in a few weeks. I'm also going to the Seahawks home opener in a few weeks. I really hope I can find the outlook to find joy in those events and not just be bummed I can't drink.
