Rejected said:First of all congrats to everyone on their sobreity. It gets hard sometimes, I know.
I've been sober for about 9 months now and I quit smoking about a month ago, Im not sure of the exact date on that. It seems I have good days and bad days with it, but what puzzles me is that even though Im not self medicating anymore, I still have yet to find any sort of peace. "Irritable, restless and discontent" are word that sum up my very existence at this point. And there is absolutely no reason for it. I probably have one of the best jobs in the city for someone in my age bracket and education level, a beautiful girlfriend who loves me and has put up with my sh*t for this long (thou Im not sure why). I have all four limbs, a good back, a dry bed, nice car, woman who loves me and Im still miserable. I feel thin, like a balloon thats so full its transparent and ready to pop. And I seem to be letting my anxieties affect my relationship. She has said that she can't handle my depression and cynicism for much longer and she thinks I need to be on my own for a while until I figure out whats wrong with me. The scary part is I think I might need to be alone for a while too. But if Im alone Ill probably start drinking again. Which would certainly lead to my death.
That is awesome!!! I am very, very happy for you!Radio Frequency X said:I was just curious if there were any other recovering alcoholics or addicts around here. If not, I'm not sure how anyone else will take this, but as of today I've been clean from drugs for eight years and sober for one month.

Radio Frequency X said:Everything in life is taken one day at a time. We spend so much time regreting the past, being frustrated with the present, and anxious about the future, and it doesn't do us any good. Life is meant to be lived one day at a time, it is meant to be lived pro-actively and with purpose.
HOLY MOLEY!!! I just saw this thread!Radio Frequency X said:I was just curious if there were any other recovering alcoholics or addicts around here. If not, I'm not sure how anyone else will take this, but as of today I've been clean from drugs for eight years and sober for one month.
There is a reason for this. You haven't learned how to be comfortable inside your own skin, because you've been using alcohol to avoid any feelings of discomfort up until now.Rejected said:First of all congrats to everyone on their sobriety. It gets hard sometimes, I know.

michel said:Too true. One thing I know, as an alcoholic, never promise you won't drink again. You can't afford to disappoint yourself over something you might end up doing.
I hope you put me to shame --I only lasted 6 weeks.Radio Frequency X said:I was just curious if there were any other recovering alcoholics or addicts around here. If not, I'm not sure how anyone else will take this, but as of today I've been clean from drugs for eight years and sober for one month.
Circle_One said:Well, I got through a whole week, drug free. It's now been 9 days. I even went out on Thursday night drinking, to a big club, had the money and opportunity, but still did not call my dealer.
Feels good. Here's to another week.
