I am feeling kind of lonely and sad. Went out last night with my kids and my husband's parents, aunts, uncles, etc to watch the football game. I had actually pondered having a beer (I know, I know) there, but when I sat down I knew I didn't want to drink then or ever again (I have been sober 5 months). Anyway, it's sometimes tough being the "in-law" anyway, and as the night went on and more pitchers were bought I felt lonelier and more anxiety ridden. Finally I faked a headache and walked home. I was in a lousy mood- maybe the worst since my sobriety. Today I just feel sad and not sure why.

I am mainly posting because of feeling so alone right now- which is unusual for me to feel this way. Any virtual hugs would sure help!

All the best.

((((HUG))))) I have plenty of hugs to give. Im sorry that you are feeling this way. You made wonderful decisions last night. Being a in law can be tough at times. Hang in there.

I guess we all need big hugs........so here is a big hug.......sometimes we all feel alone, and believe me, its better to explore the feeling.....most of the time I am alone, its in my aloneness that I have found me...

Yep, been there. Sometimes I can't explain it to anyone. Just feel blah...it passes, and I chalk it up to my brain recovering slowly from 5 years of being a sponge for alcohol more often than not.

I find writing it out helps sometimes...even if you don't share something about getting it out of my head seems to benefit my mood.

Thanks guys. I was with other 6th grade parents at Sunday school this morning and had a good time chatting for a few hours.

Aeo, don't grieve over drinking, it was nothing but a lie and a cheat, remember? Be proud of yourself for your achievement and the person you are becoming. Congratulations to you.
