You're readjusting to a new life. It takes time. We're used to having a constant stream of alcohol in our bodies and taking that away disrupts a lot. Don't underestimate the power that alcohol had over our lives in many ways. Your addiction wants to be fed again. Don't listen to it.

It took me a while to adjust to sober life. It does get better and easier. Give it time. Keep doing what you're doing. You'll look back and be so glad you stayed committed.
