Help - Sobriety shining the light...

...on MANY things that I am unhappy about with my life and that I was using alcohol to forget and suppress. I am only 12 days into this and SR has helped more than anything else, especially with what to expect along the road. I am asking for help in dealing with this - those of you who have been where I am: how did you handle these realizations? How did you know what to change about your situation (beyond stopping drinking/using of course)? How long did you wait before making major changes (such as changing the big stuff - relationships, jobs, living situation etc)? Right now I am afraid I am not thinking rationally due to being in early recovery, but also afraid that if I do nothing about what us bothering me, I will relapse.
Any help/suggestions are appreciated!
(Because this is commonly asked on here: my recovery plan includes AA, Rational Recovery, and SR. No rehab or professional counseling yet)
