Just try to stick it out man, you will thank yourself later! Lay off the booze if it’s a problem and look into another carreer if you have to, life is too short my man!

The way you are feeling could just be the come down from the alcohol. MY dads an alcoholic. So i know how hard it is for you to have stopped.

It seems like withdrawal sympoms, you will probably feel a litle depressed for a while.

Usually after about 2-4 weeks it starts to settle down.

But remember, things are different now. You haven’t experienced life for 5years…you’ve been drunk. So expect things to be a little weary and different. But you can get through them. This bad patch will pass.

I really don’t know how to tell you, I feel like a beginer too. Is that how you feel? Picking up the pieces? Do things you never do, believe in yourself, that the place to start, don’t make a mountain out of an ant hill, put every problem in it’s place. take the positve aspects of you and praise them, to zero out the negative aspects of you. You may function better, much more positively, Never down talk yourself and ner let others down talk you. My mother said “NEVER hate yourself, or treat yourself bad because there are so many others in the world who will do that for you.” You don’t have to. Be your own best friend, dont wait for others. Be positive. }]i[{

You have done so amazingly to face your demon and choose to fight it. Two weeks is a brilliant achievement so don’t beat yourself up about what you haven’t done when you have done something so positive in your life. Keep going, try and find a goal and focus on it, but be realistic, having a marvelous career by the end of the month is not going to happen, but doing something to take one step toward the goal you hope for is very possible, and you can celebrate every little achievement. Well done and keep going.
