I've been going through a hard time lately. It's my own thoughts & feelings that I'm dealing with. When I was drinking, this would have been a day I would have opened up a bottle early on, & I would have drunk from it continually during the day. Today I know I can:
-talk it out.
-go to a meeting later.
-read some AA literature.
-etc.
I can't expect to feel on top of the world all the time just because I'm sober. Yes, drinking was a key component to my misery. However, sometimes bad moods, conflict, change, stress, etc. happens. Today I have the tools to deal w/it. I also know that "this too shall pass."
I hope all is well w/everyone.
Mary
