1 Month Over

Hey again. It's been over 1 month now since I drank. Have found myself happier most of the time. Yet susceptible to curves of despair. ... Just wanted to chat to other about how they have felt after a month of sobriety. I have foudn that I am taking more store painkillers than I should be. I have to be careful this isn't a new addiction.


Going to start taking up oil painting.I am taking a lot of the creative images and the whole idealogy I have in my head and gonna throw that universe right on canvas.

Good for you Chip. Glad to see you are also going to take up painting to channel some of your energy into that. Take care and keep up the good work!

I find that my happys are happier, my sads are sader, my angries are angrier, my sexies are sexier

I think I just feel things more intensely, but they pass quicker as well. Over all I think I prefer it this way.

Hi ChipCougar,
Congrads on 1 month. If you're anything like I am, this is a big accomplishment. Getting off the pain killers is a very good idea. Keep coming here for support; we want to see you achieve your goals!
