Wake up, feel cranky, blighted, angry, lonely, otherwise sound. Are these feelings as constant company normal? There's probably more to this than alcohol. It's just that with alcohol, I can't cope with them period, and I haven't gone 3 weeks without a drink in 12 years so I am hoping to uncover something in me, perform an excavation.

Apologies for cluttering the board. I just feel like creating a record will help me not drink.

Early recovery can be an emotional rollercoaster - I think everyone here will identify with your post.

It will get better

It gets better just give it some time. I always reminded myself how long I drank so I couldn't expect to feel "better" over night, your body and mind need a chance to recover and heal. 4 days is a great start, keep it going.

Just keep on keeping on.

I'm on day 51 now ive had the PAWS from hell and i'm still going strong, every day is better than the last.

i've got one day up one you, so consider me a voice from the future - it definitely gets better. the initial hump is really awful for me, both physically and mentally. days 3 & 4 are generally the worst (explaining my pattern of relapsing like clockwork on every prior day 3), but my mind and mood eased their attack quite a bit today (day 5). everyone's a bit different, of course, but hang in there and remember that no condition is permanent. good luck to you.
