I just now started on the process of becoming a sober person lol. Its hard as hell. When your body is detoxing how do you deal with all the physical things you feel n am I the only one who gets on this huge emotional roller coaster when Im sober thats why I hated being sober n the first place you have to think about everything that is goin on in my life. But I already took the big step n moved towns to get away from all the people I was around but I just need to know that this gets easier at some point.

It does get easier with time. Congrats on taking the first step towards your recovery and freedom. I would suggest a meeting right away, and talk too people about how you are feeling be honest. Once you start the work it will get easier. Good luck and welcome.

Way to go Britt! I am in your corner. I went to my first meeting a week ago and it has touched me in way's that I would have never thought. I can tell you that it was up to me to feel better. And as each day goes by things are getting clearer and easier because I don't have the drug controlling me. With some of the questions that are still unanswered I have read a lot of self help books that are opening new avenues. Again I am rooting for you and you will be in my prayers

A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
