Hi
I read, that when we get sober we start to feel. It is true for me. I have started to feel. Some of those feelings are great, some not so great and some awful. When I get through the bad stuff without a drink I am actually 'flexing emotional muscle'. The more I do it, the more 'emotionally fit' I become. Sometimes only going through these bad feelings and getting to the other side, which always does happen, is the only way for me to grow.
Basically we do grow. Very hard to realise this when we are in the middle of emotional turmoil, but hang in there. When we get to the other side we are stronger. All part of getting well.
Keep the faith, it does get better. I deal with my sh*t on a daily basis, that way I cope. The good days now far outnumber the difficult days.
much love
JC
