This is great news, Josh.
I would start with a general practitioner and also make an appointment with a psychiatrist.
Seeking professional treatment was imperative for me.
Similarly, going to AA and working the 12 steps and reading its literature have all been necessary for the maintenance of my sobriety.
You have certainly come to the right place for love, support and guidance with your sobriety journey.
I wouldn't trade my sobriety for anything.
