I suspect Gymrat that you are just experiencing all of the emotions that you've been medicating away. I think it's normal to go through that when you stop drinking. It's like everything that you've been avoiding comes up to meet you and you have to deal with and get through it. Just try to be patient and work through your emotions. Experience the emotions and then let them go, release them.
Journalling is also a powerful tool to use at this time. I experienced a huge amount of guilt and shame when I stopped drinking. A year later, it was still the same. A wonderful lady, here at SR, convinced me to write down my feelings. I really resisted and didn't want to, didn't want to see it all in writing. But, I did and it worked so well! Each experience that I wrote about just lifted from my shoulders. It was truly a gift.
