Day 11

Did anyone else find everything in the world completely irritating and annoying around day 11? If so, how long did it last!?

Well, I've had waves of irritability, as I did when i was drinking, that are less common and severe as the months go by. But at three months sober they are not totally gone.

Great job on your 11 days, 60. The first few weeks were a huge adjustment for me. I felt so much better, but emotional and exhausted. As you said, baby steps - it all settles down and gets easier.

Riding the waves of emotion myself. It's part of recovery. The thing that has been different for myself this time is that I'm aware that this is to be expected and to try to keep that in mind. In time the up and downs won't be so bad. Sometimes I just have to live outside of my own mind when the irritability and feelings of doom stoke. I'll log on here, go for a walk, cook something, text someone, anything to keep my mind off of the negative emotions. They seem to come in waves. I'm learning how to surf them. Congrats on 11 days.

yes and then for the next 37 years (I'm 37 years old) joking around.

I dont think everything else was irritating I think I was rather irritated. and it was pretty uncontrollable sadly till things eased up. Then I got to ride the ups and downs of life with what felt like no seat belt and like i was hanging on by threads. It got easier tho.

The problem was always me tho. yes because of what booze did to me I felt that way but i chose to drink. Then when i got past that initial stuff it was still not good because I lacked any coping skills etc...

It honestly kinda stunk for a good long time I felt like everyting was all my fault and well it kinda was. But I had to learn to go easy on myself that i was making good positive steps and improving the situation.
