Thumpa, recognising issues and understanding them is a huge step towards moving forward. But I feel you may need to realise that the emotions attatched to those issues still need to find a way out. And not just once. When someone we love dies we don't just cry once and it's over, we need time to grieve, to allow those emotions to feeland respect those emotions. For a long time you have suppressed the emotions around the issues you have hidden from through drinking. Now, those emotions are seeking acknowledgment. A while back I referred to the early days of recovery as 'a projectile vomit of emotions' they come from every aspect of your drinking days, issue you may well have thought long forgotten will rise up along with others you may have recently faced. Allow acceptance of these emotions, they are valid and need to be accepted.
You are doing great, and being here gives you the chance to express your discomfort with current problems so you will continue recovery. X
