May have had one episode of strong craving but nothing that I could not easily debate myself out of, unlike the previous times where I would constantly battle the AV. I have been meditating, trying to be mindful, be present. I don't have any stress. But the weirdness of last 2 days has been bothering me.

I should be happy I have the boys with me. But can't figure out what is wrong.

Anyone experience anything like this in their early sobriety days?

In for another 24 sober. Will start again to keep cigarettes away from me.

Hope everyone has a joyful rest of the weekend.

YES....big time.

I was sober for about a year and a half and relapsed hard in 2014....that withdrawal and recovery was not at all easy. I was scared....after 14 days I was also fuzzy, still couldn't see that clearly and I was not well.

But wow.....by day 21, it was like a miracle.

I figured the damage I had done just took its toll on my body, and well, it did. This disease is progressive....it most definitely is for me....and I am just grateful I got all of my faculties back. Thank God.

Keep looking after yourself, babying yourself as much as possible right now....lots of sleep, rest, good food..... it will get better every single day.

♥

However.....if you have a nice doctor and you are comfortable, it might not hurt to plan a visit.

A second cup of coffee and off for dog walk. Went on a nice motorcycle ride with my daughter yesterday and stopped for lunch and since it's supposed to be sunny again today I think I'll get a few chores done and take off on the bike again, not too many days like this in middle of winter, dry and sunny. one day like yesterday makes up for a lot of wet gloomy days. My thought go out to the people struggling, things get better, time moves on and sooner or latter the sun comes out, wait for it, it's coming.

Hi Venus, and all the rest of the 24 hour gang. I do check in from time to time just to read around and see hows everyone is doing. I'm doing just fine, starting into my 5th year of sobriety now.

Totally shocked to hear the news about Kathy, she helped me in so many ways... Rest in Peace my dear friend....

So, all I need is just today, 24 more hours please, and thanks...

Hi H379. I found early sobriety very challenging in terms of my emotions and my state of mind. I would say the first 8 months to a 1 year I had lots of ups and downs. I'm not sure about the confusion but I imagine that early sobriety is different for all of us.

Try to go with the feelings rather than fight them, and remember your purpose and that this suffering is temporary. You are doing a great job and one day this will all feel more balanced.

24 more from snowy DC area. Got about 8 inches, and though scenic to look at, not much of a fan. I'm off to a date with my snow shovel with about the same enthusiasm of a root canal. I want your sun Zeppo !

Big group hug for those in need today!

lol, you best edit your last post Venus, I'm starting into my fifth year, haven't got it yet. But I'm 62 years old and a full 4 years of clean and sober living today. I get to celebrate 2 birthdays today, my sober one is the best one by far!

And thank you my friend!

Thank you sweetie. I felt it last night when we were all gathered at my parent's house. I just felt like I am not doing enough- I haven't accomplished enough. I wish I was more established, with a career and making more money, you know? Being around my family makes me feel like I am not good enough. But it's not them, it's me. I don't feel good enough.
I wish I had not have wasted 25 years of my life drugging and drinking. I could have made so much more of my life.
I have been struggling with food a lot this week too. I am considering seeing a psychiatric nurse to see if I can try a medication. I just can't do this alone.
