End of day 10. It was kind of a crappy day. I guess I'm trying to learn how to deal with anger, disappointment, embarrassment etc without alcohol. I am still going strong with the sobriety thing, but my emotions are wayyy out of control. I can't calm down and I feel like putting my fist through a wall for no real rational reason. I am being mean and yelling a lot in my communication with loved ones, again fro no reason! Its not good, and its weird because I can recognize I'm being irrational but still cant stop it.

"Reality is for people who can't handle drugs and alcohol." Well I can't handle drugs and alcohol, so I need to learn to handle reality.

Hang in there.

whenever I felt that way - and I did - I tried to remember my body and mind were healing...

it helped me to look at what I was feeling as a manifestation of that healing - I was going to feel up and down for a while, and it wouldn't necessarily have a great deal to do with what was going on around me.

You will settle down and find an emotional level, ddrayer

The nice thing about it....It never stops.

With the passing of more sober time your feelings will smooth out and become more manageable. Keep on keepin' on.

My emotions were all over the place the first few weeks - now they've settled down - I'm a bit over a month.
