This too shall pass.
I am coming up to my one year anniversary and I have experienced intense symptoms mainly anxiety. I have read these bad episodes can occur around 3,6&9 months and 1 & 2 year sobriety dates. Every bad episode I've had I write down and it matches up with this it's so strange. I feel awful and I'm so tired of fighting I just hope it does pass
this one has been a long one for me lasted weeks already but does through stages of different symptoms.
