I'm currently on day 24 of stage 2 and so far the only thing I've really noticed was resistance, it has only been clearing up these past couple of days. I have really felt like crap the past couple of weeks, I literally hated everything everything my life encompassed, not many good moments. One of the things I got out from it, is that perhaps the program is steering you towards making a choice, if you're so sick and tired of your current situation and there is no redeeming quality to it whatsoever, the decision to leave it behind and go a different (and perhaps a better) road becomes easier. And this decision will stick, because you know that going back to the old and familiar will lead you nowhere (good) and nothing that that you haven't seen before.
It's fine to do some blaming, but don't make it more of a habit then it already is. I'm still in blame-mode as well, but realize that blaming only keeps you stuck, and it's part of victim mentality (you might want to look at this list). No one will change no matter how hard you wish or want it to be. The only person that you can change, is you. Work on that.
Your friend leaving also brings up a great opportunity with it, seeing how well you can get along with just you. If you can be with yourself and just doing your own thing, without feeling dependent of others, you won't have so much neediness towards others because of your fear of being lonely. You know that you're good company to yourself, and that you can handle and amuse yourself without the need for others.
For starters, try meditation, and see how much crap your conscious throws back at you before you're able to oversee your thoughts and become more silent inside.
