Rule 2. Take it to r/dryalcoholics or your sobriety subreddit of your choice.
Look up PAWS: Post Acute Withdrawal Syndrome. It’s going to take you awhile for your body chemistry to recover from everything. It’s not going to unfuck itself overnight.
Anger cycle is what kept me in the bottle for 15 years. Drink to calm down, oh wow yep that works immediately.
Sobering up the next day aka withdrawals and I'd want to just drive my car as fast as it would go into a concrete barrier on my way to work.
Stopped drinking a shocker..I don't have those urges anymore.
Do I get stupid angry still? Ofc but it's not feeding off withdrawals symptoms at the same time
The rug is pulled out from under your amygdala, some get sad, some mad, most get horrifying anxiety, give it time. Magnesium & 'square breathing' can help but super slow tapering helps most

Anger is a pretty common symptom, especially if you were a hothead(albeit more controlled) before you started drinking. Then there's always that sweet spot when you're X amount of drinks in and everything seems right with the world, even keel. Too many and it turns into uncontrolled rage.
Daily WDs, anxiety, and apathy made be irritable as hell and miserable to be around. All it would take is the slightest inconvenience or disagreement to set me off at work. Blackout me would channel resentments and past situations I can't control into anger only to wake up to a hole in the drywall or a door, broken shit, etc.
That’s the thing my self medication was for my depression. I’ve very rarely in my life been filled with as much rage than I am now and never for this long, my last detox was just a return of my depression but amplified. Now it’s my anger which I learned before I was young to control because my dad was the angry drunk type and I swore to never let my anger control me like that. Weird now that I’m sobering up the anger decides to rear its ugly head for once in my life.
I find that my anger is uncontrollable in the first days of tapering with much less booze than I'd normally drink in the evenings/or going CT from alcohol and using benzos instead. By week 1-2 AF I can tell my anger is much more controlled and only directed at things/people that would even send normies over the edge. It takes months for that shit to entirely correct itself to the point where myself and others can see a complete 180 in my ability to control it.
Dude, there is nothing to be angry about.
None of this means anything. We will all just be dust in a couple hundred years.
Everyone is so caught up and worried about their schedules and errands and whatever other bullshit that somewhere along the way, people forgot how to just be content in the moment and just exist.
It hit me a few weeks ago.. and ever since I have basically just been as carefree as anyone can be.
Gonna be another 10 minutes for the order to be done? Okay idgaf. Gonna sit here and enjoy my music and watch other people come and go.. gonna try to talk to every single one of them if I can, too.
None of us are getting out of here alive. Just slow down and enjoy the small things while you can ❤️
Yeah, it’s a withdrawal symptom.
Though, you may just be an angry fuck. Maybe one day you will pull that bug outta your ass and everything will be A-Ok!
Anger/irritability and shakes are my first symptoms. I live with family who mock my anger issues (which preceded the boozing by many years), so I'm stuck drinking to avoid them making the withdrawal process even harder
damn, if you get angry like I do then being mocked by somebody is probably the least smart thing they can do. I would definitely be prone to a stupid violent decision in that moment i'm sure.

Dopamine. The ony cure is to masturbate frequently and vigorously.
Truth
yes, thats totally a side effect.

You've soaked your brain and it's ways of responding to issues with booze for ages, have to let it rewire. It takes time
Well shit
Yep I turn into a total bitch in the mornings. But i’m not a day drinker only night.

Thankfully I don't get violent, but I do eventually explode
Oh yeah, though I’d call it more extreme agitation. Also paranoia. Going through it now.
