Early Sobriety - What It's Like, Tips To Get Through It

Early Sobriety is a roller coaster of emotions. I had feelings I've never experienced before and you will too. We spent so long masking our emotions and feelings with drugs and alcohol, when we get sober all these emotions come bottling up and spill out in early sobriety. IT"S OK. these feeling and emotions are normal. We need to learn to feel them and deal with them because life doesn't stop when we get sober. PAWS is Post-Acute Withdrawal Syndrome and it affects many people during early recovery. Some people might experience it 40 days in and others 6 months in. This is basically a miny withdrawal/depression period that happens to most of us addicts. This won't last forever and you will get through it just keep pushing forward and continue to go to meetings, exercise, treatment meetings, or whatever is helping you. We are going to have some good days and some bad days and that's ok too. Every day is not gonna be rainbows and unicorns. Getting through this period is essential to long-term recovery. Make sure you use your support. Build and use your support network during early sobriety. I never wanted to ask anyone for help and it kept leading to relapses. When I finally put my ego aside and asked for help I received it and got through some tough times. You can get through this period. Don't give up and don't isolate.
