Short. Sweet. To the point. I can not get over this funk today.
24 day sober ... 24 ... I keep having these depressions than I would sleep, try to run them off, listen to music, journal ... Nothing is helping. Last time I had these feelings I went into relapse.
I know I am a warrior meant to stand in battle, I just feel defeated.
Trying to staying sober and positive.

You are doing so well. Look back over what you have achieved so far and take great pride out of what and who you are today because of your efforts. Think about the reasons you started taking back your life. Look out the window and see the world through sober eyes and appreciate all that it is and has to give moving forward. You can do this. Fight it off those cravings. Each time you fight them off it will become easier. Keep posting and try and stay positive

Thanks Pedro. I am telling you right now, without SR ... I would be worse off. Yes I have God and He can do all things even bring me through this addiction; easier with others who do understand.

Just keep it 1 day @ a time & go to a mtg or 3 if u have to per day. The way you change the way you feel in sobriety is doing the opposite of before. U're almost a mth now so I'm sure u know pouring a drink won't change anythg plus will make u feel worse!
Get rid of RID(restless,irritable&discontent) by sharing what's going on in u @ a mtg & not just on SR
Best wishes

I read a medical study that in a statistically significant proportion of alcoholics with depression, that depression began to subside right around the three week mark - I would stick with it and see what happens. For me, the dark clouds seem to lift right around that time as well...
