Tim being aware of emotions and accepting them is a big step forward! Like Ray said find a group and go to meetings, I go to SLAA myself, it does amazing things to sit in a room with other people who have gone through the same things and bring able to talk openly with the fear anyone is going to think I’m crazy or bad or any of the other things we tell ourselves to stay isolated
I second this. I will say though, I was terrified to go to my first meeting… And my second first meeting. I felt like I would somehow be worse than everyone there and they would reject me, especially after I had quit going for a few years and found a new meaning to the phrase “rock bottom”. But I’ve never been rejected, only supported and welcomed with open arms.

Sounds exactly how I felt. Also I had a first meeting and a second first meeting. After I thought I could handle it on my own the first time I stopped going. Man I was wrong on that.
