Getting a little easier
On day 19. I am getting a little more comfortable each day. I have posted recently that the evenings are the hardest part of each day for me. Yesterday evening was the most comfortable one I have had so far. I am not as irritable as I was and I am being more patient with my kids and situations that usually set me off. Thank you God!
I know there will be days and moments when it will be rough, but I also know that these moments pass, and each time I make it through I may faith will grow and I will be that much stronger.
Thank you all so much! God bless.

Keep on keepin' on!

Congrats on your 19 Days! The early Milestones are Huge! I had forgotten about the irritability in early sobriety.
It does get better as time goes by. You have given yourself the do-over that so many say they wish they had. Another chance to do things differently. You gave that do-over to yourself. It is nice to relax for real.

Congrats.
Those nights creep up on me too, I'm nearing 3 months sober so they have gotten much more manageable... and Yep, it feels like every time I say no to the voice, I get stronger.

jocata - I remember on Day 20 thinking "If this doesn't get better someones not coming out alive 
the evenings were the worse time for me as well. From 6 - 9:30. It got easier for me at about 4 weeks - you're like a week away from it getting much easier - hang in there.
I now have some weird bursts of emotions that pass in like 15-20 minutes but I'll take that over the standard hell the nights were from days 1 until like 28.
Really hang in there. It gets better - you feel better but the voice still hangs around.
