You don't need to be sorry or embarassed for anything. We can only be pillars of strength for so long, but everyone has the need sooner or later to let their guard down and feel what they need to feel. Being emotional, expressing our pain, that's being human. Since I've been clean and sober, to suppress those emotions brings about even more pain.

What's worked for me is reaching out for support, talking to people in recovery and going to meetings. Sometimes it means sitting in a group, crying, and letting everyone know that I'm hurting. Usually it ends with people loving me when I don't feel like loving myself.

(((hugs)))) going out for you
