The first six weeks were very challenging for me emotionally. I would suddenly become quite depressed for seemingly no reason. Other days I would be riding an emotional high. For me, I think that was aggravated by not sleeping for more than 3-4 hours a night initially. Hang in there! I started to sleep at around six weeks and the roller coaster slowed down. I drank for decades and my brain took a while to learn how to deal with life without being saturated in booze. Unfortunately, I still have the sweet cravings at day 137. I was drinking so much rum and wine that my body got used to all of that sugar. I figure eating a few cookies will be better in the long run than having a few drinks!
