My first week was really difficult detoxing, but looking forward to being sane. The second and third were awesome. Feeling great and imagining a bright future totally sober. Suddenly today lots of braing fog, had lunch with high school friends (lots of wine, except for me), and had a fight with someone. I am pissed off, want a drink and want to just go back to the easy part!

Veterans, please tell me this is normal!

It will get better.

I couldn't be around alcohol for many months when I stopped drinking. It made me crazy.

It would be great if recovery was a straight line and the more time we had the better we felt - but recovery's not like that.

Life's not like that

The way I figure it...if I have a bad day now it's just a bad day, it won;t turn into a bad week or month like it used to when I was drinking

Maybe the lunch affected you a little?

I hope tomorrow is better for you joyfullysober
