Sobriety comes first, no matter what. Drinking truly only made things worse and more chaotic. I can't really get advice from my family, who are very dysfunctional. But I will talk with a close friend and/or my counsellor. Good answers come from prayer (this was my first thought, reading this question). And yes, I agree, it pays not to make decisions on an impulse or just based on our emotion at the time, but to reflect a little. It's normal in early recovery for our emotions to be all over the place. Sometimes talking to someone who is able to listen well is helpful in putting things into perspective. I needed that a lot, even when to myself it sounded maybe irrational and misguided.
