Hi, Managed 15 days relatively easily, despite drinking very heavily for 6 years. Needless to say that there are many bridges to be built, but getting there. AND THEN - all of a sudden yesterday felt very, very sad, tearful and emotional. - no real cause - still feeling the same today - why?? And yes am keeping busy - but this is awful!

Those low areas are the worst, they do pass though... Eventualy.

Congrats on the 15 days!

Wow, I was wondering the same thing ! I am 20 days sober, and have been "weepy" for 2 days now. I am not a "cryer" so it is very hard for me to understand. Even some of the stories on the news are making me teary. Maybe it is normal since we both feel the same way. Anyway, whatever advice you get on your thread will be helpful for me too ! Nice to be clean and sober though, huh?

Of course it's normal to feel the feelings we numbed while drinking!

I suggest finding a program of recovery for yourselves. You are not alone.

Congratulations to both of you!!

I am day 40. Last week I was on cloud 9. The week prior I couldn't stand to be around anyone. This week, I am cross and miserable. My mood seems to be very unstable. I remember that when I quit the last time for 60 days, my swings were bad. I guess it's common. I was suppose to be hanging with my girls today but we rescheduled it for tomorrow. Would have been hard to put on a happy face today. It sure is a lot better then being drunk or hung over every day.
