Hahaha very good point. I was somewhat of emotional roller coaster as well. A couple crying spells, self-doubt, angry, irritable etc.
Give sobriety a chance. Then get to work on the other areas of your life. Because while sobriety brings a lot of gifts into our lives, it is not a fix-all for some of the problems we've created for ourselves.
YES!! I gotta admit after my slip up, I really thought "arf this" it's easier to go back to drinking, but I didn't and I gotta admit that yes, once the brain starts clearing up things get better and better.
No more crying, emotions much more level, "less" irritable, (everything bugs me
) and a general overall feeling of "I actually *like* this sobriety thing.
Stick with it! You will feel better soon and it really is worth it!!
Take care!
