Realization
Being sober makes people sometimes over analyze reasons why, which is, I believe, one of the reasons we shouldn't make major decisions within the first year of sobriety. But what if, all of a sudden, it hits you that the reason you started abusing alcohol, is because you yourself are being emotionally or otherwise abused and not just a drunk as your abuser keeps telling you. Do you still wait a year or do you try and treat the abuse and the abusing at the same time, even though you are emotionally not strong enough yet?
