What's wrong with me

[James.F]

Struggling alot these past few weeks and am finding it difficult to cope.I find myself emotionally and physically drained.I can't sleep and feel tired most of the day.I am very frustrated,angry,down,short tempered and just tired of being sick and tired.Its like a revolving door of no sleep,anger,lonliness,isolation,withdrawing and just down right unhappy.I tend to keep thing to myself now because i feel people are getting tired of hearing the some old stuff.I went back and looked at some post's i wrote back in 2006 and it is basically identical to today.I have only been clean for 43 days but it just seem's like nothing has changed and i am getting to the end of my rope.I know how i can feel better i just don't want to go down that path again.Just needed to get this off my chest thanks.James.F:mad::21:

James F ,Keep trying,you can do it use your willpower.I used for 38 years ,I never thought I could get clean.I am coming up on five years on 1/10/2010.I know you can do it.Don't think about the past,it is not easy.Find new associates,the old ones will lead you back to where you were before.

You're not alone in those feelings. I am very new in the recovery process and I am struggling with a lot of uncomfortable emotions and sadness. I think that would be normal. When we use we are altering our moods and not dealing with reality, when we stop reality hits us in the face. Our brains have to also get back to normal, using takes quite a toll on a normal working brain. I think time helps this and just a suggestion, but try some new outlets. I find taking long walks really helpe my moods or any type of physical activity helps alleviate irritability and moodiness. Good luck.
