Welcome SkinnyPete. Hang in there brother, you're through the worst of it. Just a mental game now.
In my experience there was a feeling of loss.. probably the alcohol. But the gains are so much more. I had to find things to do to keep busy.
Exercise is great, hobbies are great, I read a lot of stuff and I spend a lot of time here on SR (that doesn't have to be forever but it helps in the beginning).
This is a great place to get and stay sober.
