The eve of day 30
Tomorrow will be my 30-day mark, and I'm happy to say that my funky mood seems to have lifted. I had a very relaxing weekend, and for whatever reason, this morning I felt a little more, I don't know, human?
Just wanted to let everyone know, especially anyone who might be feeling the way I did the last few weeks, that apparently it DOES get better, just like everyone says. Sometimes it's hard to believe that when you're feeling so crappy.

I always found this a bit ironic with us. When we are in a funk, detoxing, withdrawing..whatever the case may be...we moan and groan about how long it's taking..how it seems it will NEVER get better, etc etc...which means we are living in the present, b/c at THAT moment we feel horrible/awful/sick/etc...and cannot see past it.
yet part of our problem is that we live too much in the past and projecting into the future, never relishing the sweet moments we have every single day.
When we are miserable, we sure live in the moment. How come we can't navigate that more easily sober?
bizarre.

Good for you I am glad to hear it gets better. I have a week.....the anxiety has been terrible.....my brain is just starting to feel a bit better. I just need to stay with it. Thanks for the encouragement. I have been through this many times. Alcohol, even in small amount gives me terrible anxiety. This needs to be the last time.

My anxiety has been terrible, too. It's dumb--I would drink to ease the anxious feelings, but the drinking made me anxious. Duh.
I think that's what I noticed most this morning--I didn't feel like I was going to SNAP. I realized how jumpy I've been over the last year or so...the littlest things would make me jump and my hands were always shaky, it seems. Today I just felt...more calm.
Don't get me wrong, I'm still grumpy, I'm still struggling with dealing with all of these feelings I've been medicating for the last year and a half, but today was the first day in a long time that I felt a tiny bit of hope.
