Yeah, it's hard to live with all those jagged edges UBC - but I found, once we face them, and don't run away like we once did...once we start to deal with them they become a little less jagged edged day by day...
It can be hard - but you're not alone
We know its way better than the alternative - drinking just keeps you in the endless loop...stimulus, response, stimulus, response - no growth....the jagged edges can get ever sharper that way...
