Sorry to hear that
If was v. helpful for me to do deliberate things to deal with emotional upset in sobriety. Rather than just 'not drink' and feel grateful for that... to actively do other comforting, healing things helped me to develop those new behaviors that ultimately have become more instinctive for me now (6 mos sober). Hope you have a good day!
