Belgian

Well, today is Day 9 sober and although I'm still depressed in my quiet moments (especially on Sundays)..... when I woke up this morning, for just a few seconds, I felt happy (or at least hopeful).

It only lasted a few fleeting moments but I feel that now I have a goal. I want to hunt down that feeling and make it last longer and longer each time I find it.

I know that the bulk of the work is still ahead of me and I have a long, Long, LONG way to go. But for the moment, I see that the possibility of being happy exists out there.

Stick with it, Belgian.

There IS hope.

My experience is that sobriety gets better and better, with time.

Congrats on nine days. It gets better every day. Hang in there. For me the first week was the hardest. Now, I feel good most of the time and yes, I found happiness, and better then that, I know I am blessed. So thankful alcohol is no longer a part of my life. Just remember, you are not alone. We are all here for you.

Emotions are all over the place in early sobriety.

Keep it going, it will be better and easier soon.

Very well put, Belgian! I remember feeling that way too. It does get easier - your optimism will be rewarded.
