Keep hanging in! 10 days is an amazing accomplishment. The beginning was a bit of a roller coaster for me, but I hung in there through it all and life at this point is frankly incredible. Beyond anything I'd imagined at 10 days sober.

I would also recommend, like others have done, finding some additional recovery support/creating a recovery plan for yourself. I do AA, which is nothing like I'd expected, but there are so many different pathways to recovery you can try if you don't think AA is your thing. Since you mentioned being a private person, how about counseling? Lots of emotions, in my experience at least, revealed themselves the minute I stopped drinking.
