Again thanks so much to all of you,
Hey Chig, I am at 75 days today (but who's counting lol) and I still feel like I am on an emotional roller coaster. But my good days are just starting to outweigh my bad days so you hang in there, better days are so close you can almost touch them. I think at our age it just takes a little longer to come back around.
I have been staying ridiculously busy and I really think that is what has gotten me through. I still have a real tough time in the morning and again in the late evening but am ok most of the day. I just started sleeping all night about a week ago and that has helped a lot. I forgot what is was like to sleep for 7 hours.
I can't remember how you feel about music but I am telling you if you can listen to any music that you like for at least an hour a day you will be amazed at what it will do for your mental state. It has been one of my saving graces.
Hang in there Lady, better days are almost here. I promise.
Patty
Shoot! I meant 90 days! And you are so close! Push through!
Congratulations on 62 days chig! Awesome! And yes these crying spells are normal. Just like constipation being followed by diarrhea after you quit. Its GOT to come out. In the same way, your emotions have been blocked up and now need to flow. Feel it, cry it out and it will pass. I promise it will. 30 days will be a big milestone for feeling better so please hang on. You WILL get better get better!
thats normal. and tbh I went to a 12 step program and I started to meet new people and have new friends and work on me its been over a year now and life is different, and better, and I am different and better. just my experience..
