Pedro, I feel the same way. Tomorrow will be one month without taking a drink after about 25 years of drinking. I have to say it has been the longest month I can remember. After about the second week I started feeling physically better, but mental I don't feel like myself. This month is my first month as a civilian after 20 years in the military. A few years prior to retirement I had gotten hurt and it left my personnel life in ruins. So my after work life went from a life of a physically active life to one of sitting on a bar stool at a dive bar just outside the base then going home and drinking till I passed out. Now I've made the decision to stop drinking and as more days go by without a drink the more I feel committed to stay alcohol free. The problem that I didn't foreseen is I don't feel like me and what to do with sober time. It's a bitch.
