Yep, it's very normal to feel that way. Addiction is a lot like a small child - it will kick and scream until it gets what it wants - which is for you to drink. Don't let it get it's way.
The early stages of getting sober are very difficult - not going to sugar coat it. You'll need to do things you don't want to do, and it's going to be uncomfortable. Be prepared for it and have support ready at any moment - just like you did by coming here to SR to talk through this episode. You can make choices today that will have huge benefits down the road.
