A little check in. 3 months
Hi. I'm 3 months sober now
Had 2 months before Xmas but was floored by loneliness and grief of my mothers passing- gave up when trying to go through her address book to send cards..had to annihilate those feelings- just a couple of drinks that afternoon but it still counts
Anyway 3 months later everything's a bit better
More stable; freelance works coming in and I can focus on it
Ambivalent relationship with my a sponsor I'm trying to clarify
Worried about some social engagements coming up
Advised that emotions may get rocky soon
Just saying hello in a quiet patch , as I've so often relied on SR during crises.
Thanks everyone

You can have reasons, or you can have results, but you can't have both.

When people advise that troubles lie ahead (like "rocky emotions"), pay careful attention but take it with a grain of salt. You may also find your emotions continuing to stabilize, rather than becoming more volatile.
Wish I had a dime for every unpleasant thing well-meaning people predicted for me in my first couple months of sobriety that never happened.
Be prepared for the worst but EXPECT the best.

Way to go man. That's a great accomplishment. I had difficulty with my mom's passing also. I drank during that time, but controlled it and quit about a year later after everything settled down.
It's very hard for me to process feelings and emotions also. Even now. I wish you the best.
