There's not always an answer to why MCB....but invariably there will be a better day coming. That's why SR is here for the bad days too.

A good cry can be very good for you....certainly a better option than getting drunk.

Well, after all that time not feeling, I definitely felt the full, impact of every single feeling that flitted past. Over or hyper sensitive - either would have covered it for me. Sounds like you're similar.

Let the tears roll. This is just a stage. It will pass, eventually xx

I find crying to be very cathartic. Here's to all of us having a good cry now and again.

Had a day like that yesterday and one really bad one last wk. I try and stay busy, distract myself. Practicing gratitude helps to. It's hard to do when were sad and crying. Tears can be healing, it just doesn't feel that way when its occurring. Today is a better day. Maybe later or tom, will be a better day for you.

I've had those types of days too MCB...watching a movie, after a workout, journaling, out of the blue...the tears just stream down my face. Just let it flow my friend...like other's have mentioned, it's healthy!

THE THING TO DO MCB- is not to waste this excellent opportunity to involve others. Go to the supermarket- and when the spotty youth checking your food items says in that wooden who gives a fcuk voice ' and how is your day going?'......


tell him.

Support to you. Emotions, like waves crashing over a rock - recede.

Daily Crier here!! Today, it happened before 7am. Too much going on and I am very stressed out. Keep thinking how could I have handled this if I were hungover?? Or would I just not care?!?!

Hangovers always left me numb. Void of feeling. I think that is why it is all coming out now! I had stuffed so much down and it is trying to all come up at once!

Yep. Dealing with our emotions sober can be an overwhelming, but necessary experience and is a HUGE part of successful recovery.

Why some people start crying after getting drunk?

Welcome to SR John. There's lots of reasons people might cry when they get drunk - but mostly because alcohol is a depressant and makes bad feelings even worse a lot of times.

Nothing wrong with crying.

Cried when I learned my uncle was dying.

Thumbs up

Hi - been crying quite a bit myself as my body starts to become alcohol free. Mostly it's due to my guilt. But realize this time that I must stop looking back, cause I'm not going there! Feeling pretty good today, moment by moment.
