Welcome to SR!
When I quit, I did a lot of crying. There is a chemical thing, I think that makes you cry and also after drinking heavily for so long my life was pretty crap. I was a crappy mother and wife. Alcoholism makes you very selfish, I think. Or maybe I was always that way and it predisposed me to alcoholism IDK. Anyway I had a lot to cry about.
So I cried a lot.
But you know what, time passed and I did things to make myself feel happy. I looked at normal people in the world and copied them. My friend who gets her nails done. My friend who is into tea. My friend who lost 60lbs and fell in love with the gym. I looked at all those people and tried some of what they were doing. And slowly life began to come together.
ODD is a difficult dx. I hope you can find some good support for that.
Good luck to you and your lovely daughter. Without alcohol, things can only get better
