Hi. Iām not fine. Really irritated and want to isolate. Yesterday I really felt ā¦ thinking about drinking episodes. I know itās anger. But happy to wake up sober.
But the anger is still here and still want to be left alone. Also Iām really tired physically because I was ill with COVID and I have chest achesā¦

We were talking in the meeting this morning that it is normal to feel anger. We need to work on letting it go.

You are right. I need to dance It out or something 
but Iāll manage some time just for me without any interaction. Read and sleep

It takes time to recover from Covid and i know my body was still adjusting to life without alcohol into 200+ days of sobriety. Be gentle with yourself.
I know that for me i was super irritated and quick to blow my fuse at the beginning. I have noticed that as my sober journey progressed, i was able to better handle my anger and not be so quick to react. It just takes time - we have a lot of healing to do. I do hope you were able to dance it out.
love this ā enjoy your time and add in some self care to boot if you can. hope you are already starting to feel better.

Today was a lunch day at restaurant with coworkers. In a parisian wine shop/restaurant and many many great bottles. WE were 18 and only me wasnāt drinking. It wasnāt hard to Say no but the owner yelled when I stopped him because hĆ© was beginning to pour red wine in my glass" OH YOU ARE SOBER" like twice and then a waitress took off the wine glass. Then my collĆØgue told me to drink because this is expensive and very good wine and I had to tell that I donāt like to drink at noon.
Even tho last year I drank 4 glasses with her.
I feel great and donāt have cravings. Just for today. I wanted to share this.
