Day 32 and a Mental Breakdown
Oh the lovely chemical imbalance of the brain, when one stops using alcohol, is REAL.
This morning my brain decided to have a breakdown. Yelling, crying, throwing stuff in my bathroom so my BF and child wouldn't see, yet they could hear. OUCH
Breakdowns are going to happen, the brain and body are going through so much. I don't think it is unhealthy, but rather finding a healthy way and or place to do it. Screaming is OK, even throwing stuff is OK (hopefully nothing of importance breaks in the process), just having to find a safe place to do so, alone where no one can hear is best.
I do work out daily, that apparently is not enough release for me. I need more. I have not yet tried yoga, maybe that will be on the list of things to try to find inner balance through the chaos going on internally.
I just want everyone to know, that it is OK to cry and let out all those emotions. Building them up could cause a relapse.
Best wishes to all those suffering internally, I hope you can find you light. The struggle, it's real.
Thank you for this forum and allowing me to put all my good and now, the bad out there through this process.
Peace!

So much better, thank you for asking. I put mybig girl pants on and went about my day and it turned out very good. Switched up my workout program and continually say the serenity prayer when I'm frustrated.

Day 31 here. I get it! For me it’s fatigue and feeling like I’m underwater.....but we all get to feel new sobriety in our own ever so special way....
Good for you recognizing that it’s all part of the process. Which it is.
Glad you’re feeling better.
