The thing to keep in mind is that what you are experiencing is NORMAL. You will have some very bad days ahead, heck some may be as bad as your worse days. Unfortunately that's NORMAL to our recovery. These bad days will be mixed in with good days and eventually for the majority the bad days go away and are replaced with our new normal. Your new normal will not be like your old normal and no one can predict what your new normal will be but do make every new day count as a great one.
