Your words could have come directly from myself, as this is how I am feeling after almost two weeks sober. However I have been trying to assure myself that this is a fairly vulnerable time, and so early on in the process that I really don't know what sort of person I'll become once I stop obsessing over sobriety. Right now I'm restless, unable to comfortably talk to the few people left in my life and feeling a bit lost. For me, I'm going to have to re-establish who I am, to myself, and for myself.
Sorry, I don't have any answers for you, but I just thought I would pop in to let you know that I understand what you're going through.
