What you're going through sounds normal for a lot of people in early recovery. You're still learning to adjust to circumstances in your life instead of turning to the bottle as a way of coping.

When I was drinking I didn't see how I'd ever get adequate sleep without the help of alcohol, socialize without alcohol, put up with certain people/problems without alcohol...etc.
In time I learned to deal with these challenges creatively, which I never would have done if I kept using alcohol as the only solution to everything.
You may also have some withdrawal symptoms, physical and psychological, making it harder. Those will go away eventually.
