problems sleeping and emotional instability lasted the longest for me. Im not use to regulating my emotions. I go from irritable, to upset to happy.... all over the place sometimes. However, Im also mopping up the mess of my drinking and there has been some grief with the crap I created. My physical withdrawals were done after a week. I can get a bit anxious still. once I started working my sleep returned to normal because I was so tired. Any bad day I have in recovery is nothing like the carnage I can create in one night of drinking. So Im riding it out....
welcome to sobriety, it gets better and easier.... but it also gets real. I can handle real now and the roller coaster that can be sometimes.
congratulations on 17 days... it grows before you know it... (nearly 20 weeks)
