Thanks, sans. Finding something to replace booze is the key, but I've yet to find that thing. Feeling my feelings is the main thing my therapist wants me to accomplish in the work we do together, but right now, the only time I feel anything other than anxiety is when I drink. When I drink, I can run the gamut of emotions, and it feels good. The next day, I feel total shame.

I appreciate your words and support, and hope to catch you around the forum.
