Myst - you're going to get through this. Keep searching and be gentle with yourself.
Everything is exactly how it is supposed to be.

"Questioning everything."
When I had 3 months, the world had fallen out from under me. I had long before lost my trust in myself and even longer before my trust in others. And then I lost my trust in alcohol. I had nothing and at 3 months I was just sober enough to realize it. It was a frightening bad way to be.
There's an AA slogan -- I know, gag, slogans, but the problem is, they're all true -- "When one door closes, another opens -- but it's hell in the hallway."
I stayed in that hallway a long time. I don't know how long you'll be there. Getting involved in your own life will help. But the main thing is -- hallway hell or not, I guarantee you, it's better than re-opening the door you closed on your active addiction.
You're doing beautifully. Don't let any bad feeling stop you!
