Any similar experience??
I am only 14 days into AA and I really enjoy going to meetings. I physically feel so much better, am going to the gym, and feel so much more focused.
I never thought that when I was drinking I was covering up any pain. I always thought I just liked to get high - because I really like to get high.
The first week of this journey, everything was great. But this weekend, I wonder if I was really just covering up the pain of an unhappy marriage? I am miserable. I don't even want to see any Christmas lights. Last night, my wife breathed her wine breath on me in bed, and I sat there thinking how selfish she was. Friday, I took her out for a nice dinner (instead of going to a meeting I should note) and she ordered two glasses of wine. I am at my wits end.
I know that early recovery involves a lot of emotions, but I didn't expect this.
