Been there, done that. I know those feelings well...

For me, if sobriety was just to "stop drinking," it would be pretty easy. I don't have a "drinking" problem, though -- I have a "living and thinking" problem. So I look at the different areas of sobriety -- physical, mental, spiritual, emotional. I personally need a program and some help to grow in any of those areas.

AA helps me with those issues, and I've got to try to live according to those principles to the best of my ability.

Hope you have some kind of program you are working with to help deal with all those feelings, so that you can "stay sober."

I know for me, if I start slipping in the mental, spiritual, etc. areas, the next step may be a slip in my physical sobriety.... that's when it can all go to pieces on me.

Keep working on enjoying your sobriety -- the booze doesn't make the problems go away, and usually only makes things worse.
