I think everyone here that's an alcoholic,or addict and has quit knows exactly what you are talking about. It's NORMAL. It will eventually go away.
AA meetings helped give me something to do and kep't me occupied.
Once I got the monkey off of my back, there aren't enough hours in the day.
But for me alcohol was a prison. I came home too drunk to do anything. I couldn't go anywhere, I couldn't talk to any body. I couldn't even follow a simple sitcom (not missing a whole lot there). So once I got where I could drive past a beer store without automaticly trying to pull in there. And could look at a beer billboard and not start Jonesing. It opened up a whole new world for me.
It's like climbing a mountain. It's not easy, and slips can be recovered from, or they can be fatal. You could fall too far to climb back out. But once you get to your destination the view is pretty spectacular.
Stick with it.
