Hey there! Congrats on 6 weeks, that's awesome! Keep it up my friend! Btw~ Love your screen name, we call my nephew that, lol.
Cricket I think we all " want life to stop" for a bit while getting clean lol, o how I relate to that comment more than you know!! I couldn't agree more about AA/NA, stungbythebee im glad to hear it, hopefully your still doing alright, I remember the first 25 days were the worst mentally for me after 31 days I feel like I was normal enough to function in society. Every day after day 21 got a lot better how are you doing?
Congratulations on 6 weeks!!! That is wonderful and you sound like you are doing the right thing!!
It is amazing that we find that life keeps going on even when we are in the throes of our detox and beginning of recovery! I just wanted life to stop for a little while so I could catch up but it didn't... And I agree that is where aftercare comes in and helps us get through!
I go to AA even though my DOC is opiates. There were just more AA meetings than NA around me and heck I'm an alcoholic too so it works for me! I can tell you that once I worked through the 12 steps... allowed God to take control, cleaned some of the destruction up from my past and started giving to others...I found that the obsession and most of the cravings were lifted! And the mood swings really will get better as long as you keep doing the right thing! Your body/brain are still healing!!! Be patient with yourself!!! It is a process but for those of us who choose AA/NA as aftercare and work the program it is like a miracle! It's a daily choice for me and some days I flounder around until I ask for help whether that's from God or others but it works for me!!! I believe that whatever form of aftercare someone chooses can work for them as long as it has a support system and helps you to learn/maintain to live a better/different life!
So HURRAY for you on your clean time!!! Keep doing awesome!!! ♡
