Yes. I think that's normal. In my case, I took pain meds. My first couple of days sober, I felt immense guilt and shame specially guilt for all I had done to my wonderful bf. I took pills from him (he has a bad back), I took money from him, I dissapointed him in so many ways...It was very hard to deal with those feelings. Just know that they will pass. After week 1, I felt a lot better. Now, at week 2, I get strength from the guilt. I make it into a positive thing by telling myself that I will NEVER do that to my bf (or anyone) again! He's still here and I'm grateful for it. I try to make it up to him everyday and he knows I love him and that person who did those things was not me. Good Luck!
