tenrou don't be discouraged.  when we are in early recovery our emotions take a rollercoaster ride. this is very typical for most of us after the "rose colored glasses" , meaning joy, come off. what we've all run from are our emotions. you can overcome those uncomfortable feelings if you just not drink. your emotions will level out. but it's important for us to hang in there and not give up. they say, we drink because the dog died, we drink because the dog lived..sorry re the dog analogy..but it's one of our sayings which means we don't have a valid excuse except that we want to drink.
hang in there. it does get incredibly better.
and keep posting about this. many of us can relate.
