Day 46 today. All going well as can be expected.

I have great moments in my days. Real productive time, no stress, worry, getting things done.

Then it hits me. Like a wave and I am tired and weak, like everything is a struggle. I will be like this for a few hours then it will lift again.

How long is this cycle going to last? Really difficult at times

I don't know. I've never made it to 46 days. I just want to say you rock!!!

day 51 and I'm with you...

I think this might be what they call "life"....

Well, I think it will ease up soon, and congratulations on your 46 days of recovery.

But, I think some of what you are talking about might be due to the normal ups and downs of life. I always used to want every day to be perfect and everything to go smoothly. Part of my recovery was accepting that I had no control over most of what happened, except my reaction.

Hang in there Finnie, it will get better. Think about it for a minute, the amount of years you've drank. Your body is learning to readjust, so it's a bit confused at the moment.

I rode it out, it took me a few weeks. I'm sober 4 months, and happy I chose to ride out all the ick feelings, verses going back to that hellish way of living.

Keep yourself busy.
Find a new hobby.
SR is so full of knowledge. Absorb as much as you can.

Yeah life's not perfect, but it's life.

Take care of yourself, it will get better

Thank you all my sr buddies. I forced myself out for a jog and I'm back home now. In great form.

Roller coaster does not describe. I have been alcoholically drinking since I was a teenager. I have no baseline. I gotta stop drinking, grow up and let it all go!

Thanks again, you pulled me out of a hole tonight.

Finnie...I think going for a jog was an excellent idea. I wish I could do that every time I begin to feel the grips of anxiety coming on as I know it helps so much! Glad you feel better!,
