Hi all,

I'm 7 months in and just feeling really blah right now. I have my period so I know that is part of it. I'm at work and I want to kick and scream and cry. My moods are insanely all over the map. One day I am crying about how grateful I am to be sober and be alive and the next day everything seems like dog sh*t! I am not going to drink or anything. I'm just tired of being so sad and irritable lately. I guess I just need to know that this is normal for early sobriety.

Can anyone relate?

Hey Bunny. I can relate.I have days that are hard and where I also feel sad and irritable and am over a year of sobriety. I think everyone has bad days though and it's just part of life. You're doing great! Just keep on hanging in there!

Hang in there Bunny. It's just a bad day. We all have them.

We all have bad days, you'll be ok.

No day is so bad that drinking can't make it worse, though; that's for sure.

Bunny, sad days do come along and you can get through this. 7 months of recovery is terrific.

I wonder what other changes you've made in your life besides stopping drinking? What kind of things do you do to relax and have fun?
