I remember when I first got sober hearing people in AA talk about being so miserable in their active drinking they were either going to get sober or end their own life. I felt the opposite, like you, in early sobriety. I felt like" whats the point? I can't stand being sober. My life is so miserable." Going to a 12 step group gave me some relief. Getting a sponcor, fellowship with others there gave me more relief. Also, you are growing and learning about yourself right now. Whenever I go through growth, its uncomfortable for a little while. Then the fog lifts and I have actual peace and joy!
