If your level is so fluctuating that it effects your mood, you can always ask your doctor to prescribe weekly (or two-weekly) doses of t, that can help. You’re doing great, hang in there!
I’m so sorry to hear this. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Please don’t ever apologize for sharing what or how you’re feeling. I’m here for you
Thanks Michelle.
Still doing great I see mate, I’m real proud of you bc like many I’ve seen your struggles and here you are coming out the other side This is the results of never laying down and staying there to take the beating. Well done
Checking in on day 53. I have to find out what do I do wrong, because my approach to sobriety is clearly not effective.
My heart breaks for you @Piglet. I’m sorry you’re having to experience this alone. We’re all here for you, don’t ever apologize for your feelings.
I’ve been on it since March 2014, and my last check was the first time my levels have been right, I have Nebido every 9 weeks. I used to be much more all over the place, lately it’s better
Thank you Lisa
53 days seems effective to me.
How would you define an effective sobriety?
You’re coming up on your two months mark. I was in the same shoes as you then, as many tell me. You are right where your supposed to be, trust the process, stick to your exercise routine. A small nature walk, you’re doing great. After your two months will come a lil clarity. You see my struggles, today I feel much better even tho there are some small silly issues the fog isn’t as heavy now that I’m past the milestone. Much love
If I would be still sober tomorrow that would be effective.
Thanks, bud, you are a great guy, really.
I think I would start worrying when I have neurological symptoms from back pain/cervical spine. Have you seen a doctor or physical therapist for that?
What a coincidence, I also had a disturbing dream last night about my friend and I just couldn’t get it out my head all day.
I think it’s not just a low point, but my whole approach is bad. I don’t concentrate on living but on avoiding to drink, so I still focus on booze like before. I’m really isolated, I’m surrounded by people but still feel myself lonely. I should open up more because real relationships are the core of the solution in my case I guess. I have to think it over and figure out what went wrong and how to do it better next time.
Day 5… The weekend is here and Im trying to keep in my mind all the things that make me take the decision to stay sober, I don’t want to lie to me and think again… Maybe you can go out and take just one, you are not that bad, you can maybe do it this time… And then I remember my self in jail after crashing my moms car, fighting with my boyfriend because I dont went to sleep at home, loosing my purse with my work keys, fighting with people that I dont know… And then I remember why I need to stay sober.
Not at all dude. I was the same way. Going out exercising finding yourself and who you are is living. Have friends and relationships is not what it’s about, but that’s what it feels like. I know, being isolated is where I’ve found myself, I didn’t talk to anyone for almost 4 to 5 months. And even now the only person I talk to is the dude I lift with and now I’m about to give him the boot… keeping yourself safe is the only thing that matters in sobriety. So if isolating and exercise is what keeps you safe then do that. Real friends will come, if friends aren’t hanging around or talking much bc your sober then they aren’t real friends. Feeling akward and not wanting to open up and talk is ok. We’re human, we have to remember we don’t have to always have something to say.
Oh no. So sorry to hear this!
Being sober and staying sober is about much more than being sober. Yes. But first things first and that is getting sober days under your belt. That’s what you are doing. I took me quite a while (not until recently)
to have the energy and the self confidence to start working on other issues too. it takes time to break addiction and its habits. It’s work. I see you are working it Tomek. We need to be patient. Work and patience. Keep going and better times will come. Promise.
