Most addictions are done so as to avoid certain feelings. When you stop the addiction, the feelings come up and they can be overwhelming and hard to deal with. Successful treatment includes a plan for how to handle those feelings.
If you don’t have a counselor or some kind of group program, like a 12 step program, you should get one, otherwise it is too easy to revert to the behavior so you don’t have to deal with the feelings.
As for what feelings, it depends on the individual. There may be things in your past that will be coming back to haunt you. You should be writing down everything to help deal with it.
