Day 5 no alcohol. Irritation most of the day. Normally would drink for this. Pizza instead.

Well done on 5days.
You’ve caught the fact that if you get irritated, you would normally drink.
Well done for spotting this and working through it.
All those feelings and emotions when, in the past you would have turned to drink, you will now face sober. Work out a plan for distracting yourself for when you have to deal with them. Pizza is good!
Punch bag for anger, frustration?
Just don’t let the drink win!
Stay strong!

Maybe try a meeting they will help with your Irritation wish you well
Well we cant help you if you dont talk back.
Reading responses is helpful in itself. I know my brain chemistry is all wonky and needs to level itself out. I am one of those people who has to realize it on my own. My therapist has been telling me things for years and I take natural supplements. I am just beginning to realize it on my own despite the hundred examples I could have used in the past. All comments are appreciated and thank you.
In the beginning of my quitting I felt a lot of irritation. I kept myself busy and eat a lot of crappy food to cure it 
After a few months it was getting better and better! You get there too, just beat those days first!
Pizza rules!

I understand irritation only a little bit, but I know how hard it is to get those thoughts out of your head. I would get to the point that I was basically obsessive in thoughts regarding whatever I was irritated about, which only drove it to be worse.
The think that has helped me up to now regarding these feelings was a support person. I have a friend in real life whom I am thankful for, and he is open to hearing my vents and helping me see through the issues. I also have this forum, and the good people on here, which helps as well. Know that many of us are open ears if you want to talk about anything!

Now, the real question though… What kind of pizza was it? 
Haha jk
