I'm sorry I wasn't more attentive before (of course you HAD mentioned being clean for 78 days) - it's been that kind of day. But what you're reiterating makes me want to reiterate how much NA might help you. To answer your question generally, it is completely normal to have feelings of depression and listlessness and anxiety after giving up what after all became a kind of best friend (at least that's how many addicts perceived what they were addicted to; certainly I did) - now that you don't have that escape you face the challenge of re-vamping your life, and moving towards a different reward system. Oh, how a 12 step program could help you do that! And they really are all over the place: help is so very much nearer than you realize. Otherwise - or in addition - scout about for a good therapist, perhaps through your school?, who (if he or she is any good!) will probably encourage you to try out NA too. I hope you will.
best,
Guy
