Don't take how you feel at three days sober and use to imagine what a lifetime of sobriety will be like. It isn't the drab, funless existence you fear it to be, or no one would recovery.

It's understandable that you grieve a life without alcohol days after you quit...that's the way your addiction lures you back in. Focus on not drinking for the next couple of week while your mind and body heals. Then start filling your life with the abundance that being alcohol free provides.
