Emotional Roller Coaster
I'm on day 6 and woke up really happy this morning other than having some physical pain I am smiling inside.
Yesterday was crazy, one minute happy and laughing and the next minute trying to hide tears. Considering everything I have going on in my life though I feel like I am doing fairly well. Most importantly I'm not feeling like drinking.
I have been on this roller coaster before and it eventually evens out. I pray I will one day have 5 years sober again but for now 6 days is fine with me. It's a start, a new beginning.
Those of you who are on the roller coaster as well believe me... it will get easier.
I am starting to realize how good my boyfriend is to me. He doesn't understand Fibromyalgia, Bipolar or alcoholism and right now I am experiencing symptoms of all three. He could choose to walk away like I thought he was going to at times last week. Instead he is by my side supporting me.
This morning is good...

Good going Toomutch!
I always think it is unfair - when most people quit drinking they are often in the middle of all sorts of personal, family, job, medical and other crises, often caused by the problematic drinking in the first place. As if quitting wasn't hard enough!
I was very lucky in that respect. My life if fairly calm these days, but I have every sympathy for those coping with multiple issues!
All the best!

Continuing to think of you often, Toomutch. You really do have a lot going on. So glad you don't feel like drinking. Right now, that's the one issue most in your control. Stay sober, and the rest will be easier to tackle. ((hug))

Those mountains and valleys will settle down into gently rolling hills IF you keep doing what you're doing today: anything but picking up a drink!
