As I continue to expose the many painful layers of feelings I doused with ridiculous amounts of alcohol for more than 20+ years, I'm at the point now where I'm wondering if I can (or should) continue with therapy. As I go deeper, it sometimes feels unbearable without the aid of alcohol to numb myself again. Why would any sane person knowingly and willingly do this to themselves?

I've been in counselling/therapy going on 5 years and this is the shakiest I've ever felt since I stopped drinking, and that includes when my brother died. I forced myself to an all-women's AA meeting last night because it was either that or steering the car in the other direction to the liquor store. That's scaring the sh*t outta me.
