It's actually rather ... I don't want to say 'normal' ...
but at the same time, don't want you to feel ...'common' either.

It's to do with having been sedated
literally
for however many years you drank.

Also, a factor is
that other behaviors
come to the surface
when that drug (doc)
is removed from the picture.

I've seen alcoholics
not drink
but get a touch of cleptomania
or
gamble a bit much
or
over eat
or
starve
or
shop too much
or even
become promiscuous

from time to time in their sobriety.

Some of it
is part of the process.

I'd say if you can feel it
and not ACT on it...

... as long as it's not hurting anyone ...

just be happy to be ALBE to feel ... anything for now.
