Nice Patricia! You sound like you are doing much better, is that true?

I love going to my therapist most days I'm on the upswing of an emotional week. Last night it came to a head. I came home, got into bed, and let the tears flow. I've been processing some old crap, from my divorce and facing my fears that I might be single forever. I know with my head that is unlikely but my heart still needs convincing. I've no doubt that some of these feelings were stuffed down deep due to my drinking and drugging. Now that I'm finally accepting I can't drink, they are rising to the surface. It was painful but it felt good after it was done. And this morning I awoke with a serenity that was very welcome. I am so grateful to be sober and to get another shot at this life with a sober mind. As an alcoholic I've taken all this angst in the past and covered it with booze or pot. And so now this is what being sober is about, facing the hard times and doing it sober. Day 14 today. Many moons to go!
