Paul,

The mood swings are normal in early recovery. our bodies take time to get back into a healthy place, all the hormones and brain chemicals are trying to get back to normal. knowing this helped me get through this phase.

There's no point in drinking and starting the misery all over. Keep doing the healthy things you have been: better diet, proper exercise, get some sunshine and fresh air. Keep to a set schedule.

Good job on dumping out the toxins. You don't need those in your body. Keep posting. Keep reading on SR. we are all here for you and we understand.

Many people find it helpful to eat something sweet when these cravings/urges hit. Try to keep some fresh fruit at hand. I like grapes and berries.

Keep on your path! you're making good progress!

Much love from Lenina
