Red face Week 2

Today is week two since my last binge, day 3 till thursday was pretty good I have to admit, organized a job interview, have done some good work outs, have arranged therapy with an addiction Councillor. The last few days however, I have been feeling suuuuper down despite a lot of good in my life happening. I used to be able to distract myself when I got in a mood like that, but now no matter what I do I just feel "down." I know it will not last, but could use some support. Staying home, not going to put myself in a position to drink but really in the dumps right now

Hi Ekohe

things are likely to be a bit of an emotional rollercoaster for a little while - but, as you know, it gets better - use us for support when you need it

We are with you and understand. Workout again or go for a walk. That always works for me. As your signature says, one day at a time.

Doing much better, start my first day of training at a new job today. Nerves are there but I am also quite confident in my ability. I have a feeling this will do me a world of good, and time to focus on my mental well being, and facing my addiction head on. Wish me luck

Sounds all good to me, Ekohe, way to go! Bet you would have felt a bit differently about starting the new job, had you just come off a bender.

I'm glad your new job is going well. It's so good that you are sober as you go through this.
