Yeah that is true, it can and is very frustrating, after I relapsed following 3 months of sobriety it hit me pretty hard and was devastating. However, each period of sobriety can be a learning curve I guess.. I learned that I did not manage my general anxiety well, I felt like I was given this miracle of sobriety but had to hold on to it really tightly... having too much energy due to the 'cloud' being lifted was tricky, and I have a bit of a perfectionist nature and just living one day at a time is tough. Here's to hoping next time round I will know better...
