Remember it like yesterday still. Got my 30-day chip accompanied by bunches of hugs, smiles and clapping. Cried alone in my car on the way home and had to pull over sobbing. Was still sobbing trying to go to sleep. Scared the crap out of me: Did this mean I was going to drink again? Called my sponsor who explained how I was crying from JOY!!! 48 years old and never experienced that before! The following month I spent crying at just about everything from happiness to sadness. I cried in my boss's office one day because I was moved by what befell a coworker. He acted like crying was perfectly normal... who knew? Congratulations on feeling instead of medicating.
