Are you 12-step? If so, you gotta turn over the grief. Don't not feel it, there is no way to avoid feeling in sobriety, but work the steps and let the steps work. Are you depressed? It sounds like it. Maybe seeing a medical professional to talk over the depression and review some options would helpful? Sometimes our brains get into a negative loop and it causes chemical changes that are fixable by will power alone talking with someone who is knowledgeable about these things might help.

So sorry you are having such a hard time
