Paulos

Sadness flows through my body like my bloodstream at this time... I just hate feeling so fearful and sad about things... hate being autistic, hate being ... me at times, man boy do I hate feeling like such a wimp :| I know this is a random topic but it's just ... I ... man... I just finished doing so much crying it's pathetic, I just had to talk somewhere. sorry if I bothered anyone with this post.

My emotions were definitely all sorts of messed-up at day 14, and for some time to come. Still not great, but feeling better than I have in decades. It will get better. Much better. Just have faith.

Hang in there Paulos, crying's a good thing. My emotions are still on the raw side and if you look around SR, you'll realize your not alone. Stay strong friend and be proud of the 2 weeks!



This face always makes me laugh...perhaps you too.

Like others have said, I think we all struggle emotionally in the beginning, Paulos.
I hope tomorrow will be a better day for you

Hi Paulos, I hope your feeling better soon

Hang in there, Paulos.

I definately went through a period of low-lows and high-highs when I quit drinking (and no, the high-highs were not chemically induced!).

I think our bodies need some time to stabilize after beating them up for so long.

Keep posting; you are not alone...

Paulos, you're doing great and I'm so glad that you came here and wrote about how you're feeling.

You have many friends here Paulos.

Paulos, I'm so glad you were able to cry and get it out. Tears can be healing. I hope you feel better soon!

You're not a wimp Paulos. You're brave for trying again and coming here to talk about your feelings. 14 days is fantastic! We're proud of you.

I understand. Day 14. I was a mess. That is the day I was taken through the 12 steps of AA. I had realizations about me. I had also been in and out of AA for 25 years by then. I had lived a long life, made many "bad" decisions. I had had enough drinking.

I had ceased living. I was caught in a place where I feared drinking any longer and I was about to drink again. Those steps saved my life, but I was seriously desperate enough to know something had to change. That something was me.

You are not alone in your feelings.

It can and it does get better. Keep staying stopped. Find something to help you.

Glad you are here!! Thank you for putting into words what I couldn't at 14 days.

Stay strong and stay stopped!

Prayers, love, & hugs,

Completely off topic, but I love your signature, Paulos! FF Tactics was so much fun!

I hate having (sometimes debilitating) anxiety disorder. Some things, normal things, seem just a little (or alot!) harder for me and my emotions or body can go berserk without notice. There are good days and bad days. That is life. I have learned to accept this. Good days and bad...but talking about it ALWAYS makes me feel better.

here's hoping you feel better Paulos!

You know, my first few weeks of sobriety were quite emotional, but I look back on those times with fondness, cause that's when the person I am now was born. And I like myself today. it's also why I love to see a newcomer.

Stick with it friend . do it right it'll be amazing!
