Mood today

Almost 40 days clean. Why am I in a shitty mood for no apparent reason ?

It gets like that sometimes. its weird, we always think we need a reason to feel funky. But, it happens every once in a while even after years of sobriety. Sometimes Iā€™m just in a bad mood. Im pretty sure it happens to ā€œnormiesā€ too. Maybe take a chill Day, watch TV, read, meditate, take a bath, eat something yummy. or if youā€™re working a 12 step program give your sponsor a call at some point.

We all have those days. I was sad earlier this week and there was no reason to be. It could be hormonal, due to lack of sleep, stress. I'm glad you had a Netflix kind of day.

Why are you in a shitty mood. Perhaps you should journal write your feelings, you can meditate, do something that can distract you from this feeling exercise, work or hobbie.

I'm 5 years sober and I'm always in a shitty mood. Well that probably didn't help. I'm sorry. I wish you luck!

Some is normal recovery mood. Some is the time. The human body is on cycles of 3, 7, and 40 day rhythms. Every 3rd day is tough as is every 7th and 40th. It is kinda like if you've ever been on a fast at day 1 you fight all day. Day 2 is nothing. Day three you can die of dehydration and going without food is a nightmare. Day seven is even worse but the days between a r e easy.

Thatā€™s an interesting point I mean Iā€™m almost a month and a half clean but have those feelings

Well damn :joy:

Iā€™m not sure why thatā€™s the thing. Just that void that needs to be filled

"Not sure"

it feels like you need to filled this void with great ideas and inspiration or love from a girlfriend. Sometime we have to give us permissio to be miserable. And just treat are self good.

Not a bad day good

Today is my first day of sobriety again I fell off the wagon 3 months ago and I'm

Hey, Lana. Hang in there.

See, this is exactly my problem with this app! You people pick and choose the addicts that you want to provide advice, and assistance to! I have literally posted 20 times in the last hour to no avail. But, some female voices her struggles with addiction, and you are all over her. ā€œCome on manā€! In the words of our future president.

It feels like this app frustrate you just remember you are always not alone

Whatā€™s going on with you pat

Hi pat sorry you feel slighted. I haven't seen your posts yet, but I'm sure someone will respond to you. It just takes time sometimes.
