Im trying again
The emotions are normal...I'm only 16 days sober but mine have calmed down a bit.
I'd go from bubbling anger/rage...to depressed sadness...But the thing is they don't last forever (Thank god.)
Mine have calmed down...Though i still get down on myself sometimes...That's where coming to SR, going to a meeting, calling my GF or just journaling my thoughts helps to get me through.
It'll get better. But it does take time. I'm still getting there

Perfectly normal. I think we all go through a grieving process at the beginning. Hang in there. Try to let the emotions come and go with out holding on to them. It can feel like a roller coaster at first.
It gets better. Take it one day a time, it is going to be okay
This to, shall pass.

Hi countrygirl. Good job on your 5 days sober.
I definitely was emotional, sorry for myself, resentful, excited, hopeful - all that and more. It's a time of change, & takes some getting used to - even though we know we're doing a good thing & making our lives better. Give yourself a chance to adjust. You'll feel much more hopeful in a few days.

You guys are great. I thought I was losing my mind there for a minute (see, back to happy). I just got a great phone call, job offer for what I used to do. Right now...I work in a smoking bar. Try quitting smoking and alcohol while having to go there every night, lol. I NEED to get through this first weekend.
Thank god, haha, I don't want to get stuck like this. Oh, I made it through Friday (yay!) but the cravings....WOW. Different than quitting smoking. These last forever and nag at you constantly. I shut it up by saying out loud "I'm going to make it tonight" closed my eyes, popped open a can of coke (I don't drink soda so this was new)took a few deep breaths and had a few sips. Over. Thanks for helping me through today!
