I empathize how you feel. In my first days of sobriety I missed my friend alcohol. It was a friend that I could rely on. It always got me drunk.
It was suggested to me to fill that hole with something positive. I had to figure out who I am without alcohol, and still am one day at a time. I am reinventing myself all the time. Who am I as a divorced man. Who am I as an amputee.
I suggest giving it time. What for "The Promises" to come true. If you don't know what they are, GET INTO THE BOOK, with someone else!
It's easier to stay sober than it is to get sober. Go back to day one, how did that feel?
Last suggestion l, for now, take your newcomer chip, put it under your tongue. When it dissolves, you can take a drink. If you don't have a newcomer chip go to an in person meeting where it is given, freely, out. Or reach out to me, and I'll send you one, unless if you live jn the Charleston, SC srea.
It will feel like that for a bit, it might feel like that for a while, but it'll go away because you begin to start feeling that avoid with other things. Keep going.
