Ok not really that great. I am feeling ok. I still have this cloud of the blues but it does seem to be somewhat lifting if just a little, I am still having trouble with energy to do anything that is not absolutly necessary but I also blame that on this friggin weather. In case you don't know I am here in sunny Buffalo (Yea right) the windchills have been in the minus 15s all week and we got hit with at least 3-4 feet of snow . I am actually looking out my office window and can't
see the house across the street because of the snow piles. Yuck I am still taking all the supplements and I do think they help, but I find myself very moody snapping at the boys and my hubby. Thats normal right???? I mean if they would just not bother me I would be fine hee hee. Has anyone tried that energy drink I think it is called 5 hour energy? I never drank coffee don't really love the taste I started drinking it in the mornings to get a boost but I have to douse it with chocolate and cinnamon just to get it down, and it doesn't last that long. Well I'm off for now hope to check in soon.

Hi Roxy...
You doing great and I remember around day 10 for me, the gray cloud started changing and around day 14 I was on a pink cloud....For me, in the first few months, my emotions (all of them) were real raw and I was told that everything I had numbed for so long was starting to surface....I didn't get that energy back until after 3 weeks and it took time, and I remember feeling like I would never have energy again but one day, it was back....I do know now, when I don't have much energy, I rest and when I do have it, I enjoy it.....
Early on in my withdrawls, I remember someone sharing about H.A.L.T. and I still use this everyday in my recovery....be conscience of Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired...for me, I have to make sure I keep these away and when they occur, I reach out and talk with other addicts....
You are doing awesome and soon, very soon, you will feel so grateful for doing this for yourself....You are a miracle!
Take care,
xoxo

Stacy thank you so much that was like a big hug!!! I can't thank you enough. I did get out today funny thing is for as tired as I was I ended up doing the house two loads of laundry meals on wheels with Mom the post office and took the kids to the dollar store. So I guess I do have the energy I just need the incentive to get out of the house, today was because I had to do meals on wheels but I don't go out unless forced to because it is too darn cold right now

That's awesome Roxy....see when you get up & just try to do things, you can look back at the end of the day and be grateful for what you did get done....
Baby steps and you are doing great...remember, when you need to rest, take it easy on yourself and when you have those moments of energy, take advantage....
Give yourself time....it does get better each day of sobriety....
Thank you for sharing...it helps me too to remember how it was and I look forward to seeing how you are feeling tomorrow....
God bless
