I’m feeling off today. For the last few days to be honest. I’m not sure exactly what the feeling is, or what brought it on. Im still able to do my day to day stuff, including chores and working out. I just feel…bland. Does that word apply here? I slept poorly last night, waking up several times in a panic, like I would when I was drinking. It was very unsettling. Any thoughts or advice?

ITs ok to feel off some days we are only human! It comes and goes but just remember for every level there’s another devil! Try Yogi Kava stress tea it promotes relaxation and helps with stress…and get nature or even scream into a pillow it sounds silly but it helps…stay strong! One love!

Oh yeah. I’m in a blank kind of feeling myself. Are you coming up on a milestone? Sometimes before a milestone, I’ll go Into a blank feeling for a couple days, sometimes a week. Sometimes I say it’s my higher power guiding me and protecting me. I’m able to carry on but yeah it just feels off sometimes. And then when it goes away, a whole different person comes out.

No milestone coming up for a while, but I think I had built up the one month in my head a little. Not that I am let down at all by reaching it, but maybe my expectations were too high for it. Here’s to hoping something amazing comes out of this blah feeling- I’ll just keep keep on keepin on to quote Joe Dirt! Glad to know it’s not just me!

I felt the same way yesterday. I just felt blah. Not good, not really bad…just blah. I actually had thoughts about what the “point of all of this is”. In those moments, I felt like I was essentially just doing this to be better for my family. I thought about how I just needed to understand that maybe I was never going to be over the top happy being sober, but it makes things better for everyone around me…so I thought maybe blah is just my new reality. Lol Wrong. I didn’t drink, and the moment passed. I woke up today in a great mood, which isn’t common. I received good new this morning after that, and the day is going great, too. It’s such a good reminder that feelings pass. They come and go. Instead of me picking up wine last night to “feel better” and not “blah”, I just felt it. And it really did pass. I keep reminding myself this; I didn’t have drinks 3 days ago, and I was happy that day. Nothing in my life has changed since I was last happy, other than my mood. So it’s just my mood I need to get through and wait out. I think all alcoholics have a problem with feeling things. As soon as a negative
or boring emotion comes up, our brain is like “a drink makes this better…a drink makes this better”. That’s our addiction talking. Not our reality. You’ll feel good again once the mood passes. Even if it’s a few days. Just get through it sober, so you can feel better again SOBER. Not angry at yourself for giving in. Play it forward in your mind. That’s been working for me.

Thank you- I needed to hear all of that. Pretty much exactly what’s been running through my head these past few days. Thank you for bringing some light to it. Tomorrow will be a better day.

I’m actually embarrassed to say that I know it well- I used it often to help with anxiety from hangovers🙄. I’m not surprised to find that it works so much better on a sober mind. I had forgotten about it since I haven’t been hungover in a month! Glad you reminded me!
