Restless, irratible, and discontent?? Get to a meeting, talk to your sponsor, pray. Help someone. Get out of yourself

I could NOT tell by your avatar.... LOL. OK, J, put on the craziest tune you can think of and just start dancing. Anything goes. Swear you'll be laughing by the time you're done. Physical things take the edge off of days like this. And then do what everyone else tells you to do:)

My avatar is cheering me up, maybe they'll censor me.

Nah! The only way you'd get censored is if someone reported it. You don't think we've seen worse??? God, I am entirely desensitized by stuff like that. I'm a performer and I have a bawdy sense of humor. I swear like a sailor when I get angry and sometimes when I don't. Nothing shocks me except cruelty so if your avatar makes you smile then keep it. I think it rocks, quite literally:)

you know, I feel the same way. Today I mainly feel like shit physically but insane mentally. bummy, but goofy, I don't know. I can't think straight still. but I am only a few days sober. I know that you have to not allow yourself to focus too much on how bad you feel or it intensifies, turn your focus to something happy or peaceful or positive. hugs

Congradulations!!! You can feel! aren't feelings awesome???? that is what happens when we stop drinking we start feeling! Don't forget that not only do we feel Restless, Irriatable and discontent, but we also can feel willing, happy, enthusiastic, cheerfull, and just all over hunky dory. Life is balance, and I know for me when I get in my shit, I need to take some kind of "action"- shower, get dressed, go out, find a meeting, call a sponsor or another alcoholic, help someone else, like others have said there is nothing better than seeing someone else in agony to take your own away! After all we teach the things we need to learn the most ourselves!
This too shall pass....God Bless!

I would say that if you have daytime tv on in the background that might be a cause....OMG it's awful, I don't usually work from home and these dumbasses on Tara and the damn court shows are pissing me off too.

Yesterday some guy came to my door and I was pissy. Well I asked through the door "who is it" he said "Marco". I said "I don't know a Marco and I'm sorry, I don't open the door to strangers" he slipped a card through my door and was an insurance salesman.

Okay fine...about 10 minutes later, HE CAME BACK (my dog barks like crazy when folks knock) this time I was agitated and said "can I help you with something, I am trying to work" and he said he just wanted to apologize for disturbing me. DOH! :)

Either he's a newbee sales guy and felt bad or he was a rapist who wanted to dismember me. Either way, I didn't know but was a bitch to him! Sometimes ya just gotta be bitchy.

Let it out sweetpea. Vent! We'll still love ya! :)

I think it is good that you recognise it J and are reaching out. Most people dont do that.

Keep talking, keep sharing. I too would get to a meeting as you will then hear something that will help shake it. My journal on here helps me immensely too.

Hey, you are not a woman with PMT are you? ;) haha

Im in a real pissy mood too but i wont rain on your day.I agree with evreyone else go to a meting i believe thats what im gonna do....
