Early in sobriety my emotions were all over the place. In the same day I’d feel euphoric joy for no identifiable reason, only to plunge into near tears depression. I couldn’t tell what was accurate or what to think about any comments made by others. My own thoughts sent me into emotional spins. But I knew whatever I felt, drinking wouldn’t help. I stayed sober, rode the emotional waves up and down, screaming inside the whole way. Then they began to subside until I felt stable. Notice I didn’t say normal. I’m not sure what normal is, but I could manage my depression and emotions well enough to not feel like I was on the edge of disaster all the time. Stay strong, sobriety will bring clarity.
