Welcome,Thelayers, I'm 9 days sober and so far have felt a mixture of tears, panic, anxiety, euphoria, aches and pains, insomnia, sitting with the curtains closed in the day, running away from everything, irritability and cravings. You're brain and body are re-adjusting, chemicals rebalancing. We are coming off a poison- there's bound to be some ups and downs.
You're doing great, six days is amazing.

I found it helpful to look at some of the "what to expect when giving up alcohol" stuff on the net-they explain the chemical imbalances in your brain and body. I've got to say I am shocked by my withdrawals, never thought it was that bad, same as you. But things are looking better, slowly, and I know I've made the right choice. Stick around, it's great here !
