skeletons out the closet

Yesterday, I got a text from somebody I had boxed away. Somebody who was only part of my life when I was drunk during the day. It brought a lot of reminders back of what a horrible person I was and the damaging things I did. I wasn't sure how to react, I certainly kept things abrubt. But now I am running scared that this person may get back in touch again. I have made a fresh start and realized what a wonderful family I had all along and what a disaster I used to be.
Feelings of angst are creeping back in. 2 months sober tomorrow, I don't want this to go horribly wrong.

Meet with your friend and tell him where you're at in your sobriety and in life. He'll solve your problem for you, by not calling any more.

Hey zlhzlh

you don't have to associate with anyone you don't want to associate with, no matter what happened in the past.

It's a little hard to decipher from your post but if they're a former drinking buddy you absolutely have the right to move on from that relationship.

If they're someone you think you owe an amends to - that's fine - but the time for amends is later IMO.

Get yourself strong and secure first

Thanks, I absolutely don't want contact. It's something I want to go away.

You are under no obligation to see this person. If they call you again, tell them you no longer drink and cannot meet up with them.
