I think a lot of us go through low periods - it's important to reach out and get feedback
Have you spoken to your sponsor about this blinds8?

Yep, been there, I had to talk about it and take some action, in my case as someone to guide me through the steps. That changed everything for me.

ya I try get ahold of my sponsors never answer there damn phones they're busy doing something or working or whatever it is sponsors do before and after meetings! I'll try again to get someone on the phone.

Sometimes it does seem like life is a struggle, but hang in there and keep working on your recovery.

blinds8, I know just how you feel. I went through a low period recently where I just felt crappy. I didn't know what was up, and I couldn't get out of my own way. Even though in the past I would've drank, I waited out the storm of feeling like utter sh*t and I started feeling better. Not only did I feel better, but I had the added pride of making it through a rough time. Hang in there, and be your own best friend!

l ditto the previous posts
yeah l went through days when l was frustrated, angry and exhausted but they passed.
reach out and get support to help you through this time and remember live in today, for me it was much easier if l didn't get caught in the past or in the future.
Life's not always a bed of roses for me,
but l don't think it is for anybody!

Though no-one can go back and make a new start,
anyone can start from now and make a new ending.

Then get a new sponsor who can show you how to take the Steps, have a spiritual awakening, and get recovered. Until I did that, sobriety was miserable and fleeting.

I understand how you fell. Currently, I am getting phone numbers, honestly trying to work the steps, calling my sponser, and trying to help someone. It is helping me get through the low times as I ask God to help me change me and my attitudes. Stay strong and you have done the right thing by sharing, it takes courage!

I think that everybody has bad days no matter what they choose to get sober. BUT you have bad days drunk as well. At least now..you don't have to deal with the day after a bad day where it carries into ANOTHER bad day because you are in the drink/hangover cycle. It gets better. Only difference is you are no longer putting yourself in the zone to get thru it. You can actually..really...FEEL your moods! You will feel good again..give yourself a bit of time.

Try some or all of these....

Pray for peace of mind
Use the Serenity Prayer for starters.

Make a gratitude list
Write down all the crap that happens when you drink
to refresh your memory.

Read the BB chapter...Freedom From Bondage
and follow the directions about resentments

Perhaps your newest committment is overwhelming you?
Step away for now if so.

Get to a meeting...share one on one with the newest person there
Invite them to coffee later if possible.

don't depend on any one person...keep useing your phone list
until another member answers.

Keep posting with us...we are here to support you.

Sorry you are feeling so low...

Everyday I wake up sober is better than being a gutter drunk. Not much can get me too upset after I say thank you for where I am today.

We suffer at our own pace.

If your sponsor is unavailable and not guiding you through the steps, find one who will.
