So I'm in my third week of sobriety. I feel pretty good but feel like I have no energy this week. I'm also coming off Zoloft and yesterday wa my first day not taking it. I had s slight headache and am assuming it's from withdrawal of Zoloft. I'm supposed to take 25mg today and skip tomorrow too. Last week I took the lowered amount everyday now supposed to go to every other day. But I kind of don't see the point in taking it today and Friday. But I'll see how I feel and if it's necessary. We went and looked at a new (to us) vehicle. It's a 2007 GMC Yukon and it's in great condition for $15000. Sounds great and we want to trade in my nice Ford F-150 before the rear end goes out (it also needs brakes and rotors). But we can barely afford our payment now but the payment on the new one would be about the same. I also just found out today that the dept of education is garnishing my wages for my lack of communicating with them and making arrangements. I called this morning and got on a $5/mo pay plan but have to pay for 5 consecutive months before they lift the garnishment. Don't know what to do. Ugh. I'm looking for a sign about the new car but also scared because we are struggling. Oh well, that's life. You only live once is my husbands motto so we may just go for it.

I'm the biggest money pincher that is living on this Earth, Mars & Venus if you believe there is life on other planets. lol

I was brought up being told " If you can't buy it -our right - you'll have to wait"

I'm 50.....so far so good!

What ever you decided to do, I'll be rooting you on

Jillian, are you going off Zoloft with your drs orders? I hope he's guiding you through this.

Jillian2563

Yes Anna. She gave me the plan. Only have 4 more doses to take but spaced out every other day then every two days. But I haven't taken it today so I think I'll just stop. I feel ok though. And I feel much better now that I've thought about everything and trying to get my finances taken care of.

Jillian....good for you for not drinking while going through all of this. Just do what you have to do to fix your finances, mine were really messed up while I was drinking.

You can do it. I'm rooting for you.

I am 3 weeks and equally exhausted. Just plain wiped out. I guess we just have to hold on and hang in there. Been trying to eat well and do some moderate exercise/walking but all I want to do is lay in bed. Might be a bit of depression sinking in. I am also on a low dose SSRI. Just wanted to commiserate and let you know I feel your pain. Gotta get through this initial crap period ... that's all there is to it. YOLO is a great attitude until the bills start rolling in.

I've also tried to eat well and adding some exercise but finding the motivation this week has been hard. I thought I would drop at least a pound or two by now, but nothing. I guess it's going to take dedication and harder work.
