Keep in mind you are extremely early in sobriety, and remember that you aren't going to magically transform to a sober life in just a few days. It can take weeks or even months for your body to get used to the physical removal of alcohol. And the mental adjustments can take even longer.

Probably the biggest hurdle though is the underlying issues that sobriety suddenly brings to the forefront. Many of us drank to avoid them, but we really just postponed them until later. Have you ever spoken with a therapist or recovery group about your addictive personality? Sometime we need a little external help to steer us down the right path.

Congrats on the 2 days, just be kind to yourself and don't set unrealistic expectations.
