Only truely emotionally open when drunk?

So I've been a moderately heavy drinker for the past 3 years of my life, and it seems to me and my partner that I can only have emotionally heavy conversations when I'm drunk. I'm scared I seem like an abuser to them. I know AA is something I need to get into, and quit drinking all together is a big first step. But, what avenues can I take to become more unshelled sober?

You should remember you still have the same oral freedom sober as you do drunk. The feelings on unshelling should be what the issue/feeling inside is, if you reveal this, you would have just molted a bit.
