That is honestly how it feels, like if you cornered an animal you'd expect it to attack.

Thanks for the link Dee, I've often wondered what exactly a recovery plan is that people talk about on here but that is the first.thing ive seen that actually explains it. Can't do the steps unfortunately as they are to religious (i know people diagree with this but just being true to myself as thats how the feel to me). I would like a sponser but wont ask because the first thing to do is the steps. I do exercise, drink water, take vitamins, get 8 hours sleep. I dont read enough on recovery, meditate or have relaxation techniques, keep a sobriety journal or make gratitude lists so i will try to implement these to step up the plan and hopefully help me reflect on what i need to do.
