Congrats on a year ifly! It sounds to me like you may have some other issues going on as well, most of us do. Mine happens to be anxiety- and while getting sober helped, it was not a cure in istelf. I needed to seek professional help to learn to live with and manage my anxiety too. Have you considered counseling or done some before?

The "letting go" issue could very well be tied up in some of these underlying issues.

I'll tell you right up front though that what other people think about your recovery program is utterly meaningless if it works for you. And I'm thinking that if you have a year sober something must be working pretty well. Some people like to "judge" us for many things in life...but my theory on that is that it's their problem, not mine - so I couldn't care less what they think.
