Good luck.
I love this about not drinking. It hurts some days, and last week I had a day I was so angry it was almost debilitating, but each new emotion brings me an opportunity to strengthen coping skills that were pretty much non-existent my whole adult life.
Plus, I
feel different when these emotions hit, which I ride out like an acid trip, in some form of enjoyment or awe, because the goofball druggie in me always did find "new" pretty interesting.
