My pink fluffy cloud has burst #

Hi guys ...
Day 77 and my pink cloud has well an truly bursted !!!!!
I'm actually like a demented spirit
I'm angry ...at everything and everyone
And I don't know what to do
My brain is saying have a glass of wine
An I'm screaming noooooooo
I've finally realised with the help of you guys I can't drink ever again!!!!
I need to get a grip on this ...
My anger has come out of nowhere
I'm back to reading my self help books on my kindle which do help
But right now I'm struggling

Thanks for any advice guys

Ride it out, it will pass.

Also, forget the self help books. Watch funny YouTube videos instead. 😁

i was told early on to have a pink parachute for when the pink cloud bursts.
anger isnt something a drink will help. lookin at WHY youre angry may be a better solution. maybe write it out?

Hope you feel better soon Caralara. Congrats on your 77 days, that's a major accomplishment! One other suggestion - for me, when I feel frustrated or angry lately, I've been trying to get more physical activity, even if it's just a walk, or jumping on my treadmill. It might help you to get some of that negative energy out in this way.

Brains are frippin' weird, right?

Google "anxiety and alcohol", then
Google "Alcohol and Amygdala complex"

Congrats on those 77 fabulous days!

I didn't ever experience a pink cloud and I'm glad.

Congratulations on your sobriety. It sounds like this is the time when you need to make lifestyle changes that will support your recovery. Find things to do that you enjoy and spend time with people who are good for you. These things will help you to lose the anger and begin to enjoy your sober life.

My first 90 days were a bit of a rollercoaster emotionally, but it got better and I became more emotionally constant and centered..

Hang in there caralara
