Thanks Everybody...another 24
Hey All- I wanted to thank everybody for the supportive posts and words of encouragement re: my 30 days. It means a lot. I went out tonight with my wife...we were near some haunted places for me...old drug spots...old bars...old liquor stores...places I copped and places I used....it was uncomfortable and brought up a lot of bad thoughts and emotions...I talked about them this time though...thats different for me. I talked about how I have trouble with the guilt and shame and remorse....obsessing on the "what ifs"...I chose not to try and deal with it by myself....and it was a good thing. Hope you're all well...I'm safe at home now....Day 32 tomorrow..thanks again.

That is awesome, I'm so glad you're finding out how to live sober Rob. I think I'm in the same boat, I've been talking to my ex about how I feel and what's going through my mind, and it's been really productive, and has helped me to see what I was doing.
Mate, you're an inspiration. 32 Days is incredible!
It's amazing, it's like we need to learn how to communicate like normal adults again. I feel like such a child sometimes, and I don't know why. This is the first time in my life I've questioned myself, without just going ahead and doing what I was doing anyway.
Hmmm.. thanks mate, have a good day/night!

Way to go, Rob! And thanks for the reminder about how talking these feeling out helps to deal with them (something I really need to work on).
Yeah, it's weird, but I know what you mean. I'm guessing because I started drinking at an early age, that I've never really 'learned' to be an adult. So I catch myself questioning things like you, and wondering "where the heck did that come from?"
Now that I'm 'really' dealing with my problem, I'm shocked to see how much it affected my life and how intertwined alcohol was with who I am/become.
