Welcome Adam! I'm a recovering opiate/cocaine addict...151 days clean. I, like you, never dealt with any emotions...I just stuffed all my feeling down with the help of drugs. You will learn how to deal with your feelings, it just takes time. I know I'm having to reprogram my mind not to turn to drugs every time that things don't go my way. Every time I resist the urge to use, I become stronger! You will too. Trust me, you'll get there...take it one day at a time!
