Partly the disease, and partly withdrawal. It hits at the strangest moments. I didn\'t know you had quit drinking too. You are doing awesome, give yourself a break. Allow yourself to cry without feeling guilty, and accept it is part of the process of change. Does that sound too Zen? No really, God knows and understands - he was one of us.
I don\'t know what meds you take but I took Welbutrin for a month after I quit to get over the hump of mood swings etc. caused by quitting. It also helps with cravings.
