My favorite advice to newly sober people is, "Expect to feel WEIRD." You may feel clumsy, distracted, socially inept, foggy, angry, depressed, confused, all kinds of uncomfortable feelings, and those feelings may come and go for a while. There are no shortcuts, and those feelings don't mean you are "doing it wrong" or "not ready." It's something we ALL go through. It gets better, MUCH better, and with time and continued growth you will look back at your drinking self and wonder how you ever managed to live that way.
