Steve...

Sorry, I just wanted to add that maybe you are feeling some of the effects of being sober. I don't know what your DOC was but it really doesn't matter. It's really hard to be sober. Everyone here knows that and everyday is a freaking test in early recovery--I'm speaking for myself.

Some people in your life won't be able to accept the new you. Going to meetings is probably introducing you to many new concepts about life which people who are active are going to be opposed to--perhaps. I'm not saying that this is the case, but you seem to be doing the right thing in putting your recovery first.

I'm just starting to do many new things for myself like resuming going to NA meetings and joining a Sex Addicts online workshop. I know that horrible feeling of cotton head, despair, and hopelessness. But you have this forum, you have your groups, and you have made a step in the right direction by posting here. Bless You.
