I'm still not drinking. I don't want it. It makes everything worse.

I'm having trouble even getting out of bed. Things seem so overwhelming and I don't want to be around people. Still job searching and I have a list of things I can do, but it feels like I can't move.

I don't understand why I was doing well at first and now it feels like I've hit a wall.

36 days is awesome. You should be proud of yourself.

Early recovery is a roller coaster. Up and down. Right now you are down. Don't project how you feel now into the future. You will feel better. Motivation will come. The important thing is staying sober and giving your mind and body time to heal.

The important thing is to keep going - this is not the best it's going to get.
Good luck with the job hunt GG!

Congratulations on 36 days...great job! As others have mentioned, there are a lot of ups and downs to deal with. Ride it out and if you feel that you need to rest, rest! You WILL eventually feel better.

My first two months or so were all over the place - physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Even at almost five months, I still find areas that are improving (which is good, because I have lots of room for improvement). Things will settle down and stabilize the more sober time you have. 36 days is absolutely wonderful! Keep at it!
