Hi all, day 53 here and I’m just struggling. Hard to put my finger on why, especially because I’ve been doing so well, but today feels almost like day one. My confidence feels low and I’m afraid of loosing my progress.
Reminding myself I am a good person doing all I can to move in the right direction.
Lots of love as always
You got this, this isn’t day one you’re doing amazing… don’t be hard on yourself we all have days like these you gotta hold on and remember this feeling is temporary x
Hang tight. These feelings are temporary.
I am sorry that you are struggling, hang in there and take it ODAAT. Have you considered attending a meeting today or tomorrow?
Do you attend meetings at all? I have gone stretches of 50-100 days on my own without meetings and always felt awful like I was white knuckling it. After getting into meetings it has made a world of a difference.
It’s very normal for the amount of sobriety you have, I think. I went through a lot of doubt and anxiety in the first few months. I’m coming up on 6 months now and have a strange mix of fear and confidence. It alternates. But I’m getting some courage finally. It takes a long time but it gets a lot better. Sending you lots of support. 
Promise
The first 3 months of my recovery I was very wobly in my emotions. From euphoric (the pink cloud) to depressed ore angry.
It took my body and mind time to adjust to the new situation without alcohol.
What helped me was doing active things like walking, working out, house chores, gardening, etc. Everything that distracted me and made me tired helped me.
And be here much helped a lot too 
Hope you feel better soon and well done for the 53 days 
Living life is not a straight line. There will always be ups and downs. 53 days is amazing! If the only good thing that happens to you to day is being sober…that is a pretty outstanding day!
Google PAWS (post acute withdrawal syndrome). Sounds like that might be at play. Good news is it will pass and get better over time.
I just want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who messages on this forum. It has been the support and positive reminders I so so needed.
You all have made a difference with you kind words
I have an addictions therapist and he’s been out on pat leave the last couple weeks so I definitely think the absence of that has been a factor.
Maybe I’ll do a drop in meeting
