Hey raineydae, one thing I've learned-just because we quite drinking does not mean life does not quite happening.
in sobriety the good news is we get our feelings back; the bad news is that we get our feelings back!
That's the tough part. At times I cherish my feelings, others I think they are a curse.
After 14 years of marriage I'm in the middle of an ugly divorce, with children involved. Just this morning I was thinking-I could just crawl into that old bottle and escape this nightmare. Then I remembered that never worked in the past. Not only was the nightmare still there the next day, but many times the drink had added to the problem. "This too shall pass" has helped me through many of trouble during my sobriety. You're doing the right thing coming here and sharing. It helps to know you are not alone-and you are not!!!
