Four Months Sober
So it's four months today but I'm feeling sorry for myself. I need to snap out of it and be pleased for what I have today.
Thanks to all on SR for your help and guidance, most times without you guys knowing it. Picking up snippets here and there have been a valuable part of my daily life.
You all rock x

Four months is wonderful!
Sounds like it's time for a gratitude list.

Seasonal Affective Disorder is real - I've heard the light really helps happyc. 
Vitamin D too I think?
Congrats on 4 months Mags! I was sorry for myself for awhile, but it stopped all together at around 6 mos. You're doing great.

Congratulations on your 4 months!!!! WTG
I am at my 4 months as well and I am having a lot of ups and downs and being cranky and don't know what to think.. except that I don't want a drink right now and haven't wanted one in my recovery. The thought of alcohol in my mouth is disgusting to me.. I figured out I didn't even like the taste of most of the stuff I drank.
The thing is that we are learning to live a sober life and our emotion can take over sometimes, and it sucks!! I am learning how to control and staying close to my higher power.. I must say the serenity prayer a gazillion times a day at work.. Sometimes everything bothers me, even the way you look at me!!! Then sometimes I am quiet and calm and nothing bothers me.. I think it is the phase we are in because I too get depressed but the good news is that it will PASS!!! We can totally do this!
