Slow progress

Very proud of myself, I hit 7 weeks today. The changes in my mood have been noticeable. Mornings are still difficult to deal with some times, but I am by no means lying in bed having to convince myself that everything will be ok and I need to out my faith in a high power. Now I just go through my gratitude list for all I am thankful for and thank my high power for giving me the opportunity to spend another day sober.

Each day is not without its unique challenges, especially dealing with a still foggy brain, but I am noticing that everything is getting a little bit easier than it was before. Also, the black clouds of depression from having to make life's decisions don't seem to loom over me and threaten to send rain and hail my way. There is still a fair amount of trepidation, but compared to even 3 weeks ago, I feel much more confident.

I know this is just the beginning, and life will continue thriw challenges my way, but I am feeling more comfortable in my decisions, more connected to my emotions, less anxious, and less scared of daily life.

I hope everyone out there is finding more and more of this peace too.

Isn't it great how wonderful and aware you can feel once the fog lifts? Glad to hear you're experiencing it too. Keep up the good work!

Yeah, the fog is slowly lifting, there are times it is more like a heavy mist than dense fog. But feelings are better than they were. Also, my emotions are coming slightly more into balance, for a while they were well out of whack, with no sense of hope, it that is slowly coming around.

Best of all, I have hope that this is going to turn around and get better!
