YES, this CAN happen YEARS after suffering abuse. Congratulations in the 12 days, and going to the meetings will help and there MAY even be others that have similar issues that may not discuss it in the 12 step program.

You truely need to find a good therapist that specializes in working with patients that stuggle with PTSD. And you will definitely need therapy with this and YOU MUST BE KIND TO YOURSELF. This is not your fault and you need to make sure you have a safe place ok? Please keep on your path of sobriety, alcohol only makes it worse. I hope that you are getting help and also see a psychiatrist that may be able to help you with some medication for this.

I am very sorry that you have this abuse in your past, yes it is very difficult to sort out. Do your best to find ways to self sooth. Take care of yourself with nice warm showers and get plenty of rest. This takes time to work through, but you CAN work through this. Yes it is confusing, I hear you. Make sure you DO get a good therapist. You can also come here for support.
