Trying to recover from alcoholism.. please advise?!
Question: Trying to recover from alcoholism.. please advise.?
I have not had a drink in 1 week. I am a 32 year old female, and was drinking heavily for a cou[le of years. I was in a terrible relationship and used it to escape. Anyhow, now that I am trying to get my sh*t straight, I am starting to have overwhelming anxiety about a couple of blackouts that I had, and it is making me want to drink. I am worried that during one blackout I may have had sex w/ someone... the worry is killing me... any suggestions.? Thank you.Health Question & Answer

I'm a 36-year-old male and I've been sober for almost two months now. I too was in a horrible relationship from which I escaped in alcohol. A *lot* of alcohol. I suffered from debilitating anxiety and depression and I was given medication for both. It took me about three weeks before I started feeling normal again. The blackouts are just something you'll have to put out of your mind. You didn't experience those things when they happened, and there really isn't anyone but you who could have told you what was going through your mind at the time. I know that's very frustrating, but if you dwell on things you'll never really be able to understand, you'll go even more insane than you've recently been.Health Question & Answer
It has nothing to do with any type of alcoholic beverage but with some kind of uncomfortable environment. At your age, get involved with people in your community (Church, community activities organizations, gym, sports, SPA/relaxation... schools...) get busy with those things that make you feel complete. It's exactly about that, a direction change in your life that let you find room for yourself and automatically you will come to the point of realization where your beautiful dreams will pop up and the strength to go for them will keep you moving on as shinning star (A clear view for you to set your goals).

I used to have a pretty bad drug habit and I was a pretty nasty person. Dealing with the shame of the kind of person I was when I was using has been hard, but what has worked for me is acceptance. How I behaved then doesn't define me, the fact that I didn't like what I was doing and chose to change is what defines me.
