Hi (Recovery is just the tip of the iceberg)
Hi. I'm 7 days sober.
I'm 37 y.o., married with 3 young children.
Been drinking and drugging, pretty much daily, since I was 13 y.o.
Was always able to stop for a few days whenever I wanted, and used that to convince myself I was not an addict.
Considered myself high-functioning: good job, beautiful wife and children, home in the suburbs, hobbies, friends, etc.
My marriage is on the rocks.
My wife has her own problems, but this is about me.
I AM 7 DAYS SOBER AND HAVE NO URGE TO BOOZE!
But the sobriety is just the tip of the iceberg for me.
My marriage is probably going to end in divorce - even sober I cannot control my rage.
I am not violent (I have been in the past however), but I am quick to anger.
I don't want to make this too long (I'm afraid no one will want to read a wall of text), so I'll write more later.
