Not even 24 hours since my last drink...and I hate everybody! Every single human being around me is annoying me! My husband wants food, my kid leaves crumbs on the floor, and the cat wants on my lap...
I can't stand them!
lol
Ok, I suppose this is my AV freaking out...but it feels good to vent. I know you'd understand
Hoping to have a much better day tomorrow...

It will get better Patrica

The first few days are a grind, Patricia. It will get better. Stay focused on what you really want--to get through these first days clean so that you can start to feel better, and you will.

I guess I'll have to look at the bright side. I am not drinking today. And that's awesome!
My family will stop annoying me, I know that. I guess it's just my AV telling me this is an excuse to drink.
But I'm sewing instead, mending clothes. It keeps me busy and away from everybody in my room.
The day is almost over. I can do this

I hate everything today, Patricia, if that's any consolation xxxx

Yes you can. I remember that feeling well. Over time sober is a much mellower place than you're at right now. Stay strong and vent if you have to. Whatever works

Hi Patricia. I remember feeling that way - but it all settled down and I began to love my new life. Being anxious & irritable is normal in the early days. Our bodies/minds need time to adjust after all the abuse. You're doing great - things will begin to feel so much better soon.

Hi Patricia. Sounds like you wandered into my house by accident. Cats on lap or keyboard, check. Husband annoying me, check. Kids leaving crumbs everywhere, check. I hated the world when I woke up too. It gets better and since what you wrote made me laugh since it is just what I've gone through today, my night is ending with a smile on my face. I hope you find one too. Now I will go to bed and have cats laying on top of me.

It is your AV talking to you. I have had many days like this and it does get better. People will be annoying no matter what. And I am waiting for my kids to stop dropping crumbs but that isn't going to happen until the ants carry them away.
