That's exactly how I feel! I've been told that's completely normal because alcohol was a best friend to many of us. I had it described to me as being like the grieving process - you have lost something very dear to you and it's OK to mourn that. Knowing that helped me very much. I'm still looking for something to replace it with, for me the winter was especially hard because I have a tendency to isolate myself anyway and the bad weather just encourages that.
How long do you have sober, Coffee?
