How often do you cry?

I rarely ask questions but I feel like this is a legitimate question. Ever since I got sober, I've been feeling it all. Every bit of pain I tried to numb myself from. I have had violent urges (toward myself) that feel impossible to ignore... luckily I have not given in. I find myself crying all the time lately. It's so annoying.

It really depends. I cry while watching certain documentaries, so...
It's good to cry it out and it's no surprise that emotions are bubbling up now that you aren't drinking.
Please find some healthy outlets to get those feelings out. Boxing, running, exercise can really help. Also consider journaling those feelings, I promise it all will help. Keep being strong and be proud of yourself for having the courage to face these unresolved feelings.
