FINALLY...ive made it to day 8 after a few restarts. Its so funny that I had been drinking alone and all inside myself..and now trying to be in recovery..I find myself doing the same thing..trying ot do it all alone..inside myself, not really reaching out except for here....why am I sooooo stubborn????

It like I have this whole big life inside my head...im always there...thinking..I cant seem to get out of my head and into reality. Has anyone else experienced this?

I experienced it for 20 years

Equal parts pride and ego - 'I can fix this', and 'I don't want anyone else to know what I've been doing' ....

and a whole lot of fear...I'd been on my own so long I didn't know whether I could trust anyone to help, or even if I *could* get sober....

Support really is vital.
Reach out - get help - you won't be sorry, DM

My mind is pre-occupied with people and events in the past...when i think bout tomorrow it is full of self prophesies of doom and gloom. I just dont seem to be able to live in the present even though ive been told so many times thats all we got. Peter

When I began my AA Steps...I found new ways to cope.
To literally change the way I perceived life.....

I've seen this happen to many many people
and I hope you will consider trying AA.
