Early in sobriety, I found myself at times very irritable with those around me. Much of the time for no apparent reason. Even now at almost seven months of my sober journey i am finding myself annoyed by people lately.
I recognize that sometimes the problem is me. Because "they" don't understand my plight, "they" have no right to comment.
What else are they going to say when the conversation moves to what's going on with us?
I think it's important to remind ourselves that the people that care about us are truly trying to be helpful or interested.
But you are right. If I knew nothing of what someone was going thru whatever I say may sound foolish to them. The alternative would be to say nothing. But then it would appear I don't care what they are going thru.
3weeks is is still pretty early. I would suggest that you be patient with your friends. I'm sure they have your best interest at heart.
Advice I'm am heeding myself at 7 months.
