Day 2 ouch
I made it through day one relatively easy. Today I feel like crying I feel so awful. I don't want to drink that makes me feel awful also. Staying in bed is what I want to do, but I absolutely have to run this one errand and really don't want to go out and see anyone or speak to anyone. And can I pass a liquor store without stopping out of habit. I am slightly agoraphobic and never leave the house without a few in me......

Emotions all over the place is normal. I would cry my eyeballs out then feel ok.
All the suppressed emotions are coming out and I know this can be troubling. About staying home for the first few days sounds healthy to me. At some point when you feel ready maybe go to the grocery store for supplies and come back.
Baby steps, that's all you can do.
Great job, keep pushing trough.

The emotions are pretty raw for a while - it was a couple or three weeks before I stopped my crying jags.
Good thing is the agoraphobia will lessen the longer you stay away from the drink, too.
Get your errand out of the way and then nap and eat and watch TV. You're healing, it requires good food water and rest.

And ice cream. Ice cream cures a lot of problems.
C4L, you've got this. The only way to beat your fears and emotional pains is to face them down. If you go right at them they will wither away.

I cried a lot in the beginning. Still do sometimes. Crying was healing for me. The agoraphobia is something I battle too... it does get easier in sobriety. It hasn't gone away for me, but I am better able to deal. My emotions are leveling out and things are more consistent for me, so I have more trust in myself to handle stressful situations.
Well done on day 2! Hang in there
