Hi Robert...it sounds like you had a bad day. I see you a lot on the board supporting people, so I just wanted to give you some support back.


 One thing I am learning about being sober is that when I'm feeling down or depressed, I say a prayer then i feel bettter...I also think back to what i was when I was using, ( which was only 15 days ago ),and see how I am now...much much bette i have my life back. Try to be thankful that your not using anymore and your not alone. Take Care and remember God is looking down on us and smiling

I remember my frist two weeks clean all I did was eat and sleep.I think I was makeing up for the year of not doing either. I think it was normal. Your energy level will come back. Feeling depressed I know for myself It was because I was giving up my best friend(drugs)  when you start making real new friends the depressen will start to lift. Take care and remember you have frriends in AA

Dear Robert,I wanted to sleep alot too,after i became sober mar 24.i feel like that went on for me,about six weeks,before i started thinking of other things to bring my life forward.its happened very slowly.i feel like God REALLY wanted me to know exactly what one day at a time meant.the only way i could stifle panic was to keep thinking of the act of turning over my life to him.there is a caseworker i met in human services who came into my life this last week,who used "one day at a time" before i left our meeting last friday.those words meant everything to me.i felt like praying and thanking God i crossed paths with this caseworker because she sincerely gave me direction,and i left feeling like i had someone to be in my corner.other than the twelve step meetings,i havent felt like that in a long time.HANG ON.
