Checking in with two months! I am feeling so much better than I was a few weeks ago. It's still hard, but I feel like a person again.

It's been a while since I posted. How is everyone doing? I guess I'll go back and read some posts.

Thanks everyone!

@DD, I was really having a hard time. I was suffering from intense and almost constant shame and guilt. My feelings were mainly occupied by crushing despair and that wired feeling extreme fear gives. I felt extra guilty, because I basically wasted a year of my relapsing.

It is hard to say what changed. The realization that I needed to stop drinking came like a bolt. Feeling better has been gradual. I am getting used to my clearer thoughts. I'm accepting my feelings, good and bad, and over time that makes the bad less frightening. I have the energy and desire to do the things that I really care about. I still have my troubled thoughts and feelings--They just aren't ruling my life, with the assistance of alcohol, every single moment of my life.
