There are times when i'm not in a mood for a drink, i feel like emotional, emotional to the lenght all i wanna do is spend my whole day with my love ones. Chatting with them, laughing with them etc, and makes me fell brand new inside. It's a good feels anyhow.

Swig,

I couldn't agree more. I have been the same way. I feel closer to my family than ever. I look back and it's true, I rush to get them to bed so I could have "me" time--drink. I rushed to get through dinner...felt irritable if I was wanting to drink and didn't feel like I couuld until later. I then would be irritable because I felt like crap, then feel guilty/shame after for the whole circle. The list goes on in a circle of nothing.

I want to say, It wasn't like we didn't spend time together because we did spend a lot of time together. However, I feel like the quality of time now is so much greater and that I'm all in so to speak---all attention, all brain etc...I love that. They love it too. Infact we are much much closer now and we were close before. But, I feel like they trust in me more, respect me more and feel better about everything. This clean life is the best ever I think! And as I said in my earlier post---my feelings of love and happiness are so much greater now. It's amazing and so positive!

Keep it up Swig!! You are doing great and the rewards will keep coming.

I'm not sure if its guilt driven or not, but I am feeling like I want to share more quality time with my two children and to be more attentive to their thoughts and concerns. Its not that I haven't been close to them before, but when I think of how I was hiding my alcohol addiction from them, the quality of time spent with them could have been improved. I think about how I rushed to get them tucked away into bed at night, so I could have my time to sit back and drink. I think about how my attention and thoughts were divided between them and my addiction. I think about the money I have squandered to feed my addiction when it could have went towards their educational funds or another beneficial purpose. Even though its been only 2 weeks since I quit drinking, I feel this urge to give my son and daughter my undivided attention, to hug them more, and to relax and genuinely enjoy our time together. Maybe all the energy and effort that went into my alcohol addiction is looking for a better home.

Interesting.

Your new feelings could be due to a lot of things. It could be because you are more aware and "awake" now so you have the time and brain power to think about your loved ones. It could be that you appreciate them for all they have done for you. It could also be because the neurotransmitters in your brain are becoming more balanced. You are no longer relying on alcohol for you feel good neurotransmitters you are getting more of them triggered naturally now that alcohol is no longer interfering with your mind. Whatever the case may be it certainly sounds like a positive! Enjoy the love

I have a question for everyone....have you noticed since your drinking has stopped or moderated that you feel differently about the people in your life? I have lately felt almost an emotional love for my loved ones and a new compassion for my friends. Now i'm not a hugely emotional person and don't have a lot of folks in my inner circle. So, i'm wondering if this is a function of the alcohol free brain. Sometimes it's as simple as waking up and it occuring to me how thankful I am or getting weepy because of a long joyful conversation with my daughter. I'm like ready to smack myself! So, are the emotions free flowing now or does the lack of alcohol make one more emotional or is it just me? Thoughts?
