Congrats on day 7 Jfire. It will get better, it takes your body and mind time to heal. I personally found that subsequent detox' got progressively worse too, some call that the "kindling" effect. Bottom line though, you never have to find out how bad it feels ever again if you don't want to!
Here's a great read on some things you might consider as part of your recovery. "Not drinking" in itself isn't a cure for alcholism...you need a plan to get your life back on track and deal with any underlying issues

SR can definitely be part of any plan, perhaps you could consider joining the Class of October class over in the Newcomers section? Having daily interaction with those in the same situation ( and with the same goals ) can really help.
