Checking in 84 Days! Still not chipper :)

[takingmylifeback2014]

Hi Everyone 84 days today!! Super excited about that! Still not really happy though ... Still battleing anxiety, kinda feel sad/depressed and somedays I have a super nasty attitude! I snap for no reason just riding it out though! Can't wait for these feelings to subside more and more! 90 days is right around the corner. I remember first coming on this site and thinking "jeez how are these ppl at 60,90 days"
It's doable b/c I never thought I would get this far! Even though I still don't feel great I am pushing forward and never looking back ...

Love you all ...

Hi Sweetie,
I'm so glad you're still at it.  I know you've had a tough time and I hate that you are going through this.  Give it a little more time and if you're still feeling this way, you may need an AD.  Keep checking in.  It's great to hear from you.

I remmember seeying your comment around 60 days clean and thinking the same thing , im at 65 days today. Paws were the worst theve ever been last week, as i aproach the 3 month mark, i also tend to be more sensitive and edgy in the morning especially if i over sleep, and later on at night at night, the  young and the restless lol

Congrats on that 84 days is awesome.

I know it's hard to believe it at times, but we do recover. You are doing awesome. It took me a long time to feel good again, I will say that I look back and the worst of it is worth it. Hang in there as long as it takes, you are fighting your way out of the fog. Keep your eyes on the prize, as I know you are.

You know I always try to boil down my sobriety to a simple equation.

1) Using + everyday life = unmanageable

2) Sobriety + everyday life = manageable

We choose #2 because no matter what else is going on with ourselves or our lives it is much more manageable... I'm not sure if this makes it any easier for you or me but it helps me know that using is not an option.. I'm having a ton of crazy things going on with my career right now and it has me going crazy but I know if I was using I would NOT be able to manage the situation as I am today.. That not saying I am handleing it perfectly and everything will work out because I'm sober (71 days as of today).. I just know -- like you that things are much, much better.. Anyway, thanks for your post I needed to get this out today.., I headed to a meeting for some more.. All the best!

Hi girl...it is nice to see you!  Can't believe u r at 84 days.  Funny how the days seem so long yet the time seems to fly by. Seems like yesterday, yet here we are. You are doing great. I question if this is PAWS or this is the normal me and I have to believe it is the PAWS. I trust that we will have normal mood swings, good days vs. bad days, but I also have to trust in the wise words of the folks around here that have been thru it before that our brains are still healing and we will be "normal" soon (whatever 'normal' is). Keep marching forward sweet girl!  You are doing great!

So happy you stayed with it!  I know what you mean though. I suffer low energy & major depression.  For me I think it's about expectations I set so high.  Then it's defeating when I don't hit the mark.  
  So. Be satisfied you'll be better off the natural way, no matter the moods.
  Treat yourself to a new outfit or fresh flowers or some new music. You deserve it.

Was wondering where u were. I hear ya...every day is different in how we feel and I don't remember having such anxiety before this that's for sure!!! Almost to 90 which is awesome! I have to pray every day to stay clean and not allow anything to get in my way! But, my stomach churned all damn day long???? Wishing that part would go away!!!
