2 months sober today....

And I still don't physically feel well. I was just wondering if anyone can shed some light on what I am dealing with. I am in AA, have a sponsor, and am working the steps. I have not had a sip of alcohol in 2 months. I still am dizzy, light-headed, weak, constantly aware of my heartbeat, and it actually feels like my heart is skipping beats. My head is still fuzzy and it is hard to have a complete thought.

I thought when I first started recovery that once I got the alcohol out of my system, I would start feeling better. Well the symptoms that I am dealing with now are the same when I was drinking and what made me drink to alleviate them in the first place. At least then I could get some relief from the symptoms by drinking. Now I am just left with not feeling well and getting NO relief. Makes me wonder what the point is sometimes.

I am not going to drink. My wife would kill me! lol. I understand it takes time, but maybe SOME relief would help encourage me?
