Feeling meh

10 weeks without a drink today.

Feeling crap. Skin isn't glowing. Haven't magically dropped 2 stone. Feeling irritable and tearful and just general shite.

Please tell me it gets better. Dont get me wrong, I'm not craving a drink but I am annoyed with myself for thinking a drink would be nice.

10 weeks well done you!! And we’ll done for fancying a drink but actually not! Especially when feeling so down. I’ve only every managed a few weeks and it had zero effect on skin or sleep! Can you remind yourself why you stopped & focus on that benefit? It’s all very shitty at the moment. You’re allowed to feel tearful and rubbish. A drink would not actually help any of that. Not at all.

Are you me? I'm feeling exactly the same! 104 days sober, I've gained half a stone, haven't found any unexpected joy and I'm finding it increasingly difficult to talk to "people"- I actually have to have a little MH break after a big bubbly zoom meeting!

@NotDonnaOrBlitzen thanks yes I probably need to refocus. Have lots going on right now and a drink certainly wouldn't help

@WinterWreathWitch I hate zoom things with a passion. With or without a drink!

Hoping the benefits start to show themselves soon for both of us
