It’s important to acknowledge and validate your feelings, even if they’re difficult to confront. It’s okay to feel the way you do, and it’s a positive step that you’re recognizing the need for change and improvement in your life.
Remember that recovery is a journey, and it’s normal to have ups and downs along the way. It’s great that you’re aware of the impact your actions can have on your girlfriend and that you’re committed to keeping your urges in check for both of your sakes.
I have been called similar. I think it is ok to be sensitive. The only thing I know for sure is drinking or using or anything that makes us escape unpleasant feelings just makes us less able to accept them and deal with them.
Letting out feelings here is always a good option. There are always listening ears, whatever the time.
