Welcome and you are making the the right decision in staying away from alcohol. I don't know how familiar you are with recovery but here are a couple of acronyms that I found useful in learning about when I first stopped. FAB fading affect bias and PAWS post acute withdrawal syndrome.
FAB is the process where we tend to forget the negative portions of an experience while remembering the positive parts, even romanticizing the experience as time goes on. Its one reason I think I used to go back to drinking after sweating I was done. As my body rebounded I would forget about the horrible experience and only focus on the brief moments of enjoyment. A lot of people will try to have "just one" and find themselves back where they started or worse.
PAWS is the process our body goes thru in hearing after we stop drinking. I used to believe I was completely normal once the hangover passed but this isn't accurate. This kind last several months from what I've read.
Anyway, best wishes in recover. You can do it.
