It may be feelings of guilt,shame and fear lingering around
Some of us felt so shameful because of what we did,what was done to us,and what we was before we got sober, we sometimes feel like we do not deserve sobriety, to be loved,wanted or needed.We sometimes feel like we do not have a good chance at life.Maybe they do,but I don`t.I don`t deserve happiness.Thoughts like these.
I`ve heard a lot of those feelings described by alcoholics,some sober quite a while.I have came to believe it is a almost common thing.Some alcoholics get over it quickly,some it takes further inventories and work and in time they do seem to get better.A few I have talked to went outside of AA to get help.
I call it deep physical,emotional and spiritual sobriety.
We all suffered many different degrees of various damage-
keep coming back and working on the steps(dig deep within),it probably will get better over time
mine did
