I feel uneasy about the changes in my thinking, feelings, and behaviour. This uneasiness comes and goes and usually lasts only for a short time. Sometimes I feel afraid that I won't be able to stay sober, but I don't want to think about it. 

I deal with this uneasiness in the same way I used to deal with my addiction--I go into denial and try to persuade myself that everything is okay when it really isn't. Some times the denial works and I can forget my problems and feel better for a little while. I usually don't know that I am using denial when I am doing it. It is only when I think about the situation later that I am able to recognise how bad I was feeling and how I denied those feelings.
