    not comfortably numb

    I cant believe what AL actually does to you senses! now that i am af boy things seems so RAW and in my YOUR FACE...i have been down now for three days and i am putting it down to feeling again - i have had a major shock this week going from a happy high of yes i am not drinking anymore to oh my god why do i feel so empty, lost and confused :upset: - as i got thinking about my feelings i realised that this is LIFE without AL and that i have to learn to live again without being comfortably numb.

    SHOCK TO THE SYSTEM? YES, WILL I LEARN TO LIVE AGAIN SOBER? OF COURSE I WILL - i wasnt born with a bottle in my mouth.

    I know that this is an obvious revelation but just had to get it off my chest.

    Thanks for listening xx

    p.s. i am 23 days af today
    I am the author of my life.

    not comfortably numb

    Congratulations Looking on such great progress ... 23 days! Yes, we will suffer ups and downs without alcohol, but with alcohol those downs are huge!!! something we need to avoid. Things will get much better. In fact, I prefer to live my life sober, and I think you will too. Be patient with time and yourself, wishing you strength and all the best, j

      Hi Congrats, yes the reality..... BUT that soon gets replaced with oh the pure joy and elation... honestly it does. The tough times are really tough, it wouldn't be a problem otherwise eh. Strength to you.

        not comfortably numb

        Hi Looking -- I was going to post something very similiar. It's really weird isn't it? I'm very happy without the AL, but wow, I have about 20 years of catching up to do...a lot of my relationships were numbed by AL so now have to go back and figure out how to act like a grownup when things get tough...not just slam doors and hide out in my wine. It's tough, but we'll figure it out.

        Congratulations on the 23 DAYS - Awesome!

          WOW, 23 days is great! Congrats!

          Yes, the feelings will come out. You've been hiding them for quite a while and it'll feel weird when they come out wiithout AL to filter them. I'm having problems with that too. Good luck!!
