It started off great I got loads of housework done - every room actually lol got the kids all out to school - perfect. Then I got dressed etc and since then I've just been on a complete downer I've hardly been outta bed all day. I want to do stuff but I can't see what's going to be fun lol I'm only day 11 so it's probably just my mind adjusting? Any thoughts u guys? Do I just need to snap out of it lol

Life is life! Sometimes it's crummy and boring and lifeless and you just want to crawl into bed and watch porn or 30 Rock or whatever all day. On this go around with sobriety, I've been having what I like to think of as non-alcoholic hangovers - meaning there are days where my eyes are dry, my body aches, my mind is a milkshake of worthlessness and I don't have booze to blame!

Ride it through. Trust yourself. Says me.

- the obstacle is the path -

I know I would tell myself that I needed to get up and get some stuff done and then I would feel better. But that didn't always happen and sometimes it would make me feel worse. After all, I knew what i needed to do to get better but i couldn't do it. Kinda sounds like drinking now that i think about it.

So, I am hesitant to say snap out of it, but I know when I was able to do that it made me feel better. Just the littlest thing could snowball into feeling better.

Hope you feel better, but worse case, you are not drinking, and thats a great accomplishment at 11 days.

I have heard it many times...This too shall pass. It is true.

I went through a roller coaster of feelings and emotions at the beginning. It seemed one minute I was motivated and I felt like a slug the next. Sometimes I felt happy and then next day anger. Sometimes I just felt like crying and other times I felt free and joy. Back and forth it goes some days.

The good news is the roller coaster does stop and let you get off and get your barrings. In that time you can soak up and process it all.

It gets better. Hang in there, one day a time.

watch porn or 30 Rock or whatever all day.



Hahaha I may give that a go now I'm outta bed lol Im probably just expecting too much too soon out myself - sure I'm not drinking but I guess I'm still emotionally unstable to an extent.

Tomorrow I WILL Leave the house lol

Thanks you lot

11 days is a huge! You should be proud of yourself for it, don't beat yourself up for what you have not done today. Today you are sober. That is a big deal!

Ha. I just know that when I'm down it's about getting through it, even if I stink up the joint with my lack of motivation and let the dirty dishes stay dirty - at least I didn't drink.

Good work.

GracieLou

Right on!
