Hi Stone,
You will be ok...
When you wake up each morning tell yourself you will not drink..
I know what you mean about your emotions being all over the place...In some ways it is good because at least you are feeling again.
Thinking of you...friend...

Stone you have gone through this stage before and made it, just a warning though, it is going to be a bit tougher this time then last. Keep that in mind my friend, it gets tougher every time.

Thanks again everyone 
Fly-thanks, there is no question of me giving in, this is just part of the withdrawals. I also soaked the bed with sweat last night and this is 8 days since I last drank
Missy-thanks
Taz-hehe, the physical withdrawals werent so bad early on this time but the mental and emotional stuff is worsed and all of them are carrying on for longer too, I would normally expect to be fine after a week. So yes you are right.
k-thanks hun I really appreciate your support.
I just had a snooze on the couch as I had to get out of my soaking wet and cold bed after only a few hours sleep last night. I am gonna have some coffee and chocolate and figure out something nice to eat for tea (dinner or evening meal to anyone not from the north of england).

9 days sober and I feel tons better! As Churchill said 'this isn't the beginning of the end, it is the end of the beginning' lol.
There will be other challenges but this withdrawal mood-swing thing has passed now.
Thanks for your support everyone it meant a hell of a lot to me.

Thanks Wander and well done on the nearly 30 days! I am looking forward to clearer thinking, kinda foggy atm but the mood swings are a lot better.

Stone, one day at a time! I didn't realize how much of an emotional rollercoaster quitting drinking would be until I quit...then I came to the boards and saw that other people feel the same way. That was kind of comforting.
I totally understand. Yesterday, I was in such a good mood during the afternoon and then about an hour later, I was crying and I had no idea why. I felt nuts!! Guess this is a part of our journey, right?

Hi B2B, it sure is part of the journey and knowing it was normal and to be expected helped me cope with it better. I was going from elated to nearly crying in a split second, like someone had just flicked a switch.
It can carry on to a less severe degree for a while so it is worth being aware of that too, you have probably seen this but it I will link it anyway. Keep strong B2B
