Hi songtx
I think what you're going through is normal - it takes time for our bodies and minds to recuperate -if you're like me you drank for years - a week or two isn't really much against that...give it time - it will get better
I also agree that I needed to do more than just not drink - I had to change my life...I found my life dull and boring too - which is not surprising because all I used to do was sit in front of the TV...
Nothings the same - that's true. But it's not a deprivation and I hope you give yourself the chance to see that - there really is a lot of joy to be had living sober
find new things to do...occupy your mind....if things you do now are difficult - like seeing bands - maybe it's best to leave those activities for a while....?
hang in there - you can do this
