Ricky, do you go to AA meetings? We all went through what you're experiencing, and the best place to talk about it and being 100% understood is at AA meetings. Or can you get some type of private counseling? You are not alone.

Talk to the person who's leading the meeting when you go today. And keep going to meetings. It's so important to listen to others, to share, and vent if you have to. The support you get during those meetings is priceless. Getting a sponsor is good too.

Hang in there!!Don't forget that your feelings have been numbed while you were using. You're supposed to be feeling lots of feelings now. Just make sure you share them with other alcoholics and addicts. They'll understand. It gets better.
