Day Two. Not the best of days in recovery for the majority of us I would imagine. Physically this time ive been lucky, not really sick (although I attribute a lot of that to the hospital visit a day prior to getting sober) just more mentally and physically exhausted. I posted before about my sleep being all wonky. I managed to get in a couple hour nap before getting dinner ready and getting to a meeting. The topic... of course... was relapse. I honestly don't think I heard a single thing that was said I was so stuck in my own head. I left feeling empty. I wanted to drink... still kind of do. Instead I gorged myself on a huge sundae. Way to substitute. *sigh*.

The feelings of emptiness and anxiety and just sheer depression are worse this time around. I feel miserable. I know its normal... I know it has to happen... I just hate it.

I suppose im just venting. Today is almost over and its one more day under my belt and tomorrow is a new day. Hoping for a better one.

Day 2 here too. I generally get depressed about previous embarrassments (among other things)

They will pass. They always do. I've been at day two lets just say a few times, and it always passes.

Just finished day 4. I've had periods of sadness, emptiness and depression. I must admit I felt better today than I did the day before. My sleep is still pretty non existent but I know that will get better. Keep plugging along and soon you'll feel much better.

I am at day 21. That first week is rough but if you power through it, it does get better. And if that sundae makes you feel better, go right ahead and have it.

Youre doing great. Remember every day in early sobriety gets tenfold better than the previous.
