Welcome to SR, Asylum101.
I know there are others here who can relate to your story. They will be along shortly, I'm sure.
In the meantime, have you read about PAWS - post acute withdrawal syndrome? That's what jumped out at me when I read your posts. Here is a link to get some information. You may also Google the term or search SR for more.

Glad you found us. SR is a great place for information and support!
