Hey guys,
I'm day 5 sober here.
I have had racing thoughts all day, feeling paranoid, feeling sad. In a relationship currently and I want to remain in it, but when I was drunk I was never getting my emotional needs met, and now I'm sober I'm not either. He wants it to go a lot slower than me, we've already been together for 6 months. I guess I'm struggling with not feeling wanted by him.
I'm also struggling with the feelings of sadness of wasting years of my life to booze. And how different ALL my relationships would have been if I hadn't done that. Much regret.
I'm feeling anxious and overly emotional. I feel like running away and starting again somewhere.
I can't tell my current guy I'm newly sober, cos it was a big point of contention when we first dated a few years ago. I was using alcohol big time then, and it really hurt out relationship.
I don't know what to do. Please tell me everything will work out ok and its just the withdrawals that are making me feel this despair right now?
Anyone
