Yes, I think it's normal. Day 19 here and still a lot of emotional ups and downs and emotions coming out of the floodgates, but day by day it's getting a little better. The biggest thing to tell yourself right now is to be patient, ride it out, and it will get better. Don't drink though as much as you want to drown out the feelings. I was sober for over a month and then I relapsed and now back to 19 days. If you drink, you have to start the cycle of withdrawal and emotions all over again and trust me, it is NOT fun. I learned that one the hard way. Just fight through it, it'll be worth it.
