Frick & Key, I too have struggled with acting before stopping and analyzing first. Most things aren't even worth addressing, and being the emotional person that I am, things always seemed to be bigger than they really are. Being able to step back and breathe first helps tremendously. I still have knee-jerk reactions, but I recognize them, which is the beginning of change. Sobriety has so many positive residual effects that I have completely forgotten about. So glad I didn't give in to my acute craving last night and can feel like my three weeks haven't been a waste. Namaste all!
