Feeling really down today...
Hi Friends.
I'm just feeling really down today. My emotions are all over the place and I just wanted to tell you my friends about it because I don't have anybody here to talk about it with. I'm sure this is all part of the process of learning how to be sober and happy which I will get there I promise. I new going into this it wasn't going to be easy and it's not. I just wanted to get this off my chest because I don't want to bottle things up. Everyone of you are so important to me and I can't thank you enough for just being here. I am on day 13 and still fighting the good fight.
Thanks for listening...

OK working on 3 weeks tomorrow.....last Friday/Saturdayish....that'd be about 10 or 11..... were the toughest days so far. I was cruising along and BAM. Anyway, maybe that 14 day threshold is a bear. Feeling much better know.
Also want to add my voice to the crowd cheering you on. And as everyone else has mentioned, it is totally normal to have mood swings and feel down in the first few weeks of sobriety. Your brain is healing itself and you're beginning to feel things for real again. I know it isn't always awesome when it's happening but it IS a sign of progress.
So as the ever-wise Nonsensical said, keep your eyes on the prize. It is so very worth it.
And hop on here whenever you're feeling blue or need some love. We got you .
You're doing great, two weeks is awesome!

Early on is tough... All these emotions. Like, why emotions?! I drank you away before! Lol
It gets better. And I think it is courageous to post about it, asking for help. You're doing great!

My early days were up and down too, mainly down. I learned that I did not get where I was over night and thus would not recover over night. I took it one day at a time.
Keep going. It is great you come here for support too!

Oh hang in there friend! Day12 was my hardest for some reason. The roller-coaster is right! And it does get easier and you are not alone. Glad we are all here together. You may wish to try the much talked about 'ice-cream therapy'...pint of a delicious sounding ice-cream and some duh! TV. I think I will have some myself. Keep posting through your moments. It becomes easier to recognize for what it is and passes much more easily as well...just a moment.

My family members are not drinkers and they have mood swings, too. The difference between them and us is they don't think about drinking it away. The best way I found to take the power out of a mood swing or a thought/feeling is to talk about it in group, or post about it here. It is funny how opening up about a problem like this just takes all of the wind right out of it. So glad you are here!!! You can do this. WE can do this.
