Is this Normal?

I'm on about my 14th day of sobriety. Since the day I had to face my alcoholism, I have been here at SR frequently. The first week or so I was here as a full time job, reading and posting. I'm really happy and working on this and I have lots of support and everything is good.

I'm scheduled for five weeks Tues and Thurs, one individual and two group sessions. My counselor gave me an AA group I can attend Mon, Tues and Thurs. Tonight will be my first. So what's the problem?

I'm suddenly tired of the subject of my own recovery. I don't mean I think myself cured and beyond danger. Ridiculous. I'm not feeling any temptation to drink. Is it mental burnout from introspection? I'm sure it's temporary, but it's caught me off guard. I had a lovely day today. Got everything checked off my to-do list. Three birthdays coming up and found the right gift for each. Am feeling happy and productive and positive.

So do we occasionally just go through this?
