Hi MLC,
Being sober is going to be tough for a while because your brain is out of balance. The 'normal' mechanisms that trigger feeling good and dealing with pain and stress have all been desensitized. Of course you know that, but I thought I would just remind you that being sober in the long run isn't like being sober for you now - those pathways in your brain will start functioning again, but not if you keep swamping them from the outside.
That's the kicker with all addictions it seems - it's not like just accepting life without the drug, but having to get through a period (which can last months) where the brain pathways return to normal sensitivity.
But you can do it MLC. Have you been through a detox and rehab program?
Keeping you in prayer +
