Sounds like early recovery to me. Those of us who drink a lot often get stimulated by drinking where a non-alkie gets a bit tired when drinking....

Your body is healing and you are bored as you don't have your "quick fix" to help you out with the dopamine rushes. Your brain needs to normalize.

These feelings of yours are because alcohol has interfered with normal brain functioning and it doesn't know how to get natural pleasure, it's been relying on alcohol rushes......

It DOES get better. Give your body and brain time to heal; give time time.

Stay strong and stay stopped!
