Sober-versary

So today marks 4 months sober for me.  And I've got to admit that I didn't think I'd make it this far.  I am proud of myself, but still fearful of failure.

I have been under a lot of stress lately.  Between work and home, I feel like I can't seem to just get a break.  I do, however, feel like I have been handling it very well.  I haven't turned to alcohol and I feel like I've maintained control over my emotions fairly well.  I've opted to stay to myself as much as possible.  There are a couple of people that I have kept close, but for the most part, I feel like I have become quite distant from everyone.  And yet, I still feel like I can't seem to catch a few minutes alone.  I know that it's all because of the stress, so I'm just trying to deal with it.

I feel like I have taken a few steps backwards, honestly.  For a little bit there, I was motivated and positive and even happy.  Now, I don't know what has happened.  I have lost my motivation and I am not really thinking very positively.  I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm happy...I am...I just don't feel like myself.  I don't know what's going on. I just kind of feel blah.  Not sad, not happy, not mad...just kind of blank.  It's weird.

So yea...there is is...Merry Christmas?
