If you feel really concerned I think it's best to see a Dr.

Otherwise...remember, if you're like me you drank for years - give it a couple of weeks at least Vasiliki...I'm sure you'll feel better then

When I decided to get sober I thought all my problems would go away. Then I realized that I was using drugs/alcohol to silence my problems and they were all still there staring me in the face. The difference is now that I'm sober I can start dealing with these unhappy feelings and emotions in a rational manner. My problems will never completely go away because problems are part of who I am. Being human I'm not designed to feel perfect 100% of the time. I'm learning to live with that. It's a slow process.

Hang in there. Don't give up!

Thanks Bruce. Very true.

Just feel so physically drained, before at least I was functioning....

For the first few weeks I just wanted to *sleep*. I was so tired. I get the feeling I hadn't gotten any real sleep for a very long time. That got much better after about two weeks.

Hi When I was where you are someone said "You never have to go through this again if you DON'T pick up that first drink" and I believe that today. Getting honest with myself was necessary along with a lot of work on myself and that takes time. It took a lot of time, in most cases for us to do something about our drinking and damage was done so it takes time to repair ourselves. BE WELL

yes i'm just beginning to realise now how much damage i have clearly done to myself.

its great to have found you guys.
