When i sober up for a while, i always get restless, irritable, depressed, anxious, uncomfortable.

I need to stay sober, what are your thoughts?


we need to learn to let how we feel or think just BE and not immediately want to DO something about them. all the things you describe are part and parcel of early recovry....from just about anything!!! talk to a person 4 days off caffeine or all refined sugar - and let me know if you survive!!!

we have to learn some adulting......that we have a feeling is just not THAT big a deal in the grand scheme. and feelings are transient, they do not last. i was madder than a wet hornet the other day at my husband about ..............something. don't remember NOW. because it's not THEN, it's NOW...time has passed, life has passed by, moved on, and today is an entirely different experience.
