I agree with Soberjennie ...and Anna. There is much to learn and deal with in recovery and sometimes I feel like I don't have a clue how to live a normal life..do normal things. I been broken a long time. Alcohol was a crutch that never gave me the strength to walk on my own. I think that recovery will though...especially since I'm in my right mind whilst utilzing this crutch : ) My sobriety was a little shaky yesterday and I made it through with SR support. Since I didn't drink I am able to process all that happened that threatened my sobriety and learn from it. I built some emotional muscle I think. My emotional muscle completely atrophied in alcohol.
Nevertheless...we need to be mindful of balance though. We need to do things independendently and sober...but I like having something to lean on whilst I do that.
