Just having a tough time

... with withdrawals, bad feelings, feelings that I need a drink, feelings that I need a smoke.

Why do I feel this? Because I am addicted. I know this will all pass as it did last time (around day 6-7) but that still doesnt stop these feelings and the way I feel. Anxiety, depression, just a feeling of malaise.

Anyways happy friday night to you all. Hope this note finds you happy, sober, and well.

Thanks for posting. In my mind, posting about those feelings takes away the power they hold over me. Keep it up. We're here & we understand like no others.

Yeah I just dont like it. And I know I did it to myself drinking after being 7 weeks sober. I just know how tough these 6-7 days after that last drink are. And I cant help but feel anxious and a little down. I have a very short work week next week, working two days then off for 5 so I am hoping by the time that long weekend is over, then I will be back to feeling good and more positive.

Hey jryan19982- I just wanted to offer some support.

I went through it too, and yes it was much better within a week or so. Just keep telling yourself that you can do whatever you want, except to drink. Keep this mindset and know that these strong feelings will subside soon.

-Hang in there!

Jryan, that's a load to carry for sure. You'll get past this again, and then on to brighter days. I wish there was a short cut I could pass your way because I would. You're doing the right thing...Don't Give Up.

Thanks. This feeling down I think is lasting longer than last time. So I guess withdrawals do last longer during each quit. But thats ok. I hope this is my last quit. I will do everything i can to make it my last quit. I need it to be my last quit- not for health, but for me to be me. Last time I remembered what it was like to be me again. And I enjoyed it. Mr AV just talked me into not being me again, but being that person who just goes through life, goes through the motions. I need, I want, I have to get back to me.
