Rooting for you! I self-medicated (btw, that's exactly what we're doing) for years. When I got clean and sober, I struggled like many with the feelings that were overwhelming and caused me to self-medicate. It took me a long time to realize that I don't really have to "deal" with my feelings, but rather to acknowledge and accept them. Easier said than done.
