Being forced to feel everything that we numbed away is terribly hard, but absolutely necessary. And, you know what, you can do it. If AA helps, that's great. I found that journaling helped me a lot to get the thoughts out of my head, and so did getting outside and walking. Do whatever you need to do, and know for certain, you can learn how to live a sober life.
