Now they don't say things as openly in my presence any longer cause they know I'm going to call them on it. Which depending on how you look at it is a good thing because I refuse to jump on this band wagon to go along to get along. But I want peace in my own head... I may just be pissed. Is it ok to be pissed off when newly getting sober?
I don't know if it's okay but I know that I was.
One of the things that I noticed when I first became sober was that so many people and things seemed different; I finally realized that many things had changed while I was 'checked out' emotionally. I began to see with my sober eyes what I had failed to see otherwise.
We have to get used to our new sober eyes, ears, mind and heart. The adjustment takes a while.
