Excellent tonisherrell! That "coming down with something" feeling is totally normal. Try to be patient and it will pass. Exercise & good hydration may help.

toni,

I have had spatial disorientation for this whole time since I quit drinking.

It has gotten progressively better.

It used to be part of other issues that all shown through when I quit drinking.

I was deeply medicated and that medication had taken a huge toll.

I doubt I will ever heal fully because the healing is now part of getting older.

It is like I am getting stronger but getting weaker at the same time.

Mentally is the biggest growth. I don't have the same...fight or flight...feelings I had for so many years.

I see folks that still drink have more trouble dealing with adversity.

My patience is much much better.

I had to suffer hard to get this free. I have more fun than not these days, but the suffering...craving...when it comes.... stands out more.

I have a great time sober. But, I suffer off and on...every day.

That is the only way I know out. There really is no miracle, no magic occurring at some point for me. It is a slow, progressive heal.

It is a wonderful thing and I am so blessed to have found SR when I quit drinking. Without SR, I was doomed.

Thanks.

Thanks.
