Thats awesome @Introvrtd1! on 12/13 I will have 9 years. IME the first year was all about building a network and routine and not drinking. I used AA so that is a big part of my story. Do you have a psychiatrist?

I guess this is how it is…part of the healing process especially when brain chemistry is still trying to balance itself out. I read over and over again through numerous references, the brain neurotransmitters take time to heal and get back to pre-drinking normals.

I’ll keep looking forward to that time when I won’t have any issues to occupy my mind and ruminate over.

I’ve been there..…I believe I’ll get there again.
