Welcome.
Yes it's normal to feel total discomfort in the beginning of changing our lives. It's hard, sometimes, I too have thought it was easier drinking, but that's not really true. Drinking brought us here, which means it had caused so much disscomfort that we came here seeking a way to stop the insanity. Now, we have to stick around till the discomfort fades and we are on our way to discovering how to enjoy life without the booze. That takes time, so stick with it.
