Irritation and anxiety are not only common in early sobriety, they are to be expected.
From an evolutionary standpoint it is bad for survival to sit around mentally lethargic (drunk) all the time. The body reacts by overproducing chemicals that stimulate the brain.
Then you stop drinking.
Your brain is no longer lethargic, but the over-production of stimulant continues for weeks or months, causing irritability and anxiety.
Have an herbal tea and tell your husband WHEN you need the box moved. He'll move it.
