Yes. I know what you mean, Paulos, about feeling uneducated. I often feel "stuck." I was on drugs that were a little harder than alcohol, but there is probably a similar effect. I often think that fear is the cause of it. We sober up, and there is a great big real world out there, and we really cannot process it all at once. I think the hardest thing about sobering up, and accepting any mental diagnoses that come along with it, is the waiting. It is so frightening not to know if everything is REALLY going to be alright, even if our friends and family, or doctor or spiritual adviser, say so. But you are having some good days, aren't you? Take them as a sign of your (gradual i.e. slow) recovery and HANG ON!
