Hi v-lo,

I am 11 months into my recovery and doing quite well. Your post very articulately describes some of the ways I was early on, however it is only by looking back now with a relatively clear head that I can recognise that the way I was wasn't normal.

You seem to have much better insight into these changes than I did, which I think must be a big advantage for you. The main thing is that you can see there's a problem and are trying to keep your responses appropriate, which I think is the main part of any solution.
