It's just a ride Fallow. Go with it, acknowledge those bad thoughts just don't act on them. We don't act on every thought that goes through our head right? I would be in so much trouble if I did!
Once we accept that we simply don't drink anymore, it becomes easier.
I had loads of ups and downs early on but they weren't anywhere near the extreme of the ups and downs I had when I was drinking! Eventually it levels out, as long as we don't drink x
