(((Richie))) I'm a little late, but congrats on your 10 weeks! That rocks!
I hope, too, that you're feeling better today. Learning to deal with emotions as they happen, without drowing them out is something that is always pretty tough in the beginning. A newly recovered alkie/addict is like a live wire stripped of it's insulation. I certainly understand how THAT feels!
I'm grateful for getting to 18 days with the help of my friends at SR, AA, and of course my HP. It's definitely better in here than "out there".
Good night,
Danielle
