Hi all,
Happy Sunday 
Day #35 - still sober with proud of myself but…
But sometimes I get annoyed and angry for some really little things. Is it normal that?

Congratulations on your 35 days.
Hell, I was angry for at least my first year. Just so pissed off I can’t drink like a normie. I did a lot of angry power walks with Eminem and some other loud gangsta pop hip hop music blaring in my ears. Sometimes twice a day. Walk my ass off those early days.
And a lot of guided meditations.
Meetings help too.
Totally normal to be angry at things.
I apologized to my wife over and over again because I was such an asshole at first and reminded her I had quit drinking and I’m sorry.
It will get better. Come here and vent. Let it out. That’s what we’re here for.
Keep up the great work.

Yes…i had a real angry phase for a good while in early sobriety, part and parcel of allowing yourself to feel all those emotions that youve numbed for so long…its ok and its normal…let yourself feel and give yourself permission to not be ok…its ok to not feel ok sometimes, i took to screaming into pillows for the angry bits, we are here for you

Hah! Story of my life! It took me a long time to discover how other emotions were hiding behind my anger. I couldn’t do the real work on that until I was sober enough, and I’m getting better one day at a time. I had to learn to let go of shame and be ok with feeling my emotions with a more kind and caring attitude. I had to learn how to recognize my triggers or “hooks” as signals of deeper emotions.
@Dazercat and @Starlight14 are absolutely right!
