6 months huh? Google PAWS. I suspect you may have a touch of this, but its nothing to be alarmed about. Its actually pretty normal for everyone in recovery and seems to come at intervals like clockwork. 90 days, 180 days, 9 months, 1 year, and so on. If you know what it is, you can spot those emotions and know you dont have to pay them too much attention. You just have to let it run its course, but it helps being educated about it. Seriously, look it up.
