Hey Football Guy,
Emotions do start to kick in a bit, but time will make it better. I was a lunatic for some time, getting mad easy etc.. feeling bad for myself, but as life got better because I wasn't drinking, I was able to handle things better. The old phrase recovery doesn't keep the stuff from hitting the fan, but it does teach you how to duck seemed to ring true in my situation.
Except for the Patriots... judging from your name you know a bit about football... I'm from Boston, but I hate the Patriots. Hate them... especially Belicheat... I mean Belichick. I get emotional about that...Love the Sox, though.
