So, I went from being "locked and loaded" to utter despair in about 1.38 seconds flat, but I made it……with help from my wife, of course. I went through the whole cycle of being mad at her for dumping the "good stuff" all the way to feeling fine again in record time though. It used to be that shit like that would drive me bananas for days, but I completed the whole cycle in about an hour or so and that’s some nice progress for me. |
It’s very lucky when that stuff happens, and is more proof that we gotta have help to get through early recovery. Any time I’ve tried to get through early recovery, esp the first year, there were times when I was locked in to getting on. And there’d be some fortunate barrier that would either stop me, or talk some sense into me.
Since I started coming here, and you tapered and went to 12-step meetings, it’s been really interesting seeing you use more & more NA sayings in your posts. It’s not a bad thing at all. It’s just interesting how NA influences people’s view on recovery. I went through the same thing.
