Yeah, I'm doing fine with my sobriety. And I knew it wouldn't be linear -- especially considering that of the many issues I have to deal with on my own road to recovery, some of them are pretty large and I have not addressed them at all yet, so I know there'll be quakes to come.

I guess I'm just mystified why these particular emotions, which I had thought I had settled?

I read it in another thread tonight, and it's something I've said in different forms at different times, Dee, but I personally think that my recovery is much more important than my sobriety, insofar as I see that for myself, my lasting sobriety will only happen when I address the underlying issues to reach some sort of emotional resolution (or serene acceptance of irresolution, if that's what it takes, y'know?) I guess I had thought that I had resolved these emotions, and am surprised to find them still running around.

Anyway, thanks for listening, bud.
