Do you have a sponsor ?
I had the same problem Sunday night. Girl problems, actually.
Monday, I called a fellow AA & just "dumped" on him. After that, I called my sponsor and he told me I'm human, and gave me some direction. Finally, I did steps 1, 2 and 3 specifically for relationships (or in your case, money). Guess what ? The hamster got off of the excersise wheel in my head.
Oh, and the next time you don't feel like going to a meeting ? Go !!! that's when you need them most.
Hang in there, it gets better.

Hi Baggervance,
Guilt was a huge problem for me in early sobriety. It took me ages to be able to begin to come to terms with myself. I had to really look at the person I was, not the person I thought I was. One thing that helped me, but was really hard to do was to journal. When you have the guilty, negative thoughts, write them down. I did that and it was really hard to see it all written on paper, but it was a release. In the end, after almost a year of writing, I burned the journal.
