Day two and I’m so irritable , frustrated, mad, sad, tired… fuck
Just your brain going haywire.
Stay strong, try to meditate and relax as much as possible.
And just keep telling yourself why your doing this! Stay strong!

How long did you go through this before it started to get better ? I know this is the reason why I’m so scared … giving in on these emotions seems so much better … I have a perfect reason why I want to stop … me !! I’m done , but it seems so hard

It took 3 days for me for that to go away so you are probably so close to feeling better. You actually feel rested and so much healthier. I still felt tired until about day 5 or 6 but it’s totally manageable. It’s our bodies healing. Stay strong and if you must punch a pillow! Sounds silly but helps

I went to rehab and was giving librium for the first couple of days days of detox.
So due to that and the environment I was in, I personally didn’t have any emotion issues right away.
What I did have was crazy dreams, memory issues and some “manic” periods that were pronounced during the first week. Doctor said that it was my mind going into overdrive after being suppressed so long with alcohol. Thus this might be happening to you as we tend to stuff or deny our emotions with alcohol, or any other addiction for that matter.
Now, 52 days in, and I get the occasional anger issue that is manageable. I’ve brought this up in AA as a discussion and some members say it can take a year or longer for you to adjust emotionally in sobriety.bhp
