This is totally normal for most of the people I've met and for myself.

We aren't used to feeling our feelings or our emotions because we self medicated while we were drinking. At one AA meeting when I was in my 1st 30 days I recall someone sharing about the 3-8's, where she said that when she first got sober she was either a 0 (life's miserable and pointless) or a 10 (life's wonderful and peachy) and after a couple years sober she now lives in the 3-8's (life is rough or can be really good) and is no longer living in those emotional extremes. For me this started happening within the first few months so please hang in there.

Oh and welcome to SR.
