When I was first sober, for months I mean.....I cried at the perfection of the sun on the road....a bloody mirage would set me off. It was so so beautiful.

And I couldn't watch sad ads, sad TV AT ALL for like a year....I was always flooded with emotions that were way too big for me.

It settled. Some.
Now I am just overjoyed like a child most of the time.
Sometimes overwhelmed with sadness at events in the world....but better. Much better.

It gets better. It gets easier honey.
Ah, thanks Suze. I really needed to hear that. It's a rollercoaster and sometimes I worry that there is something really wrong.

I know I have to feel all this stuff and not drink to drown it out. Feeling a bit better now I'm safe and home.

I've made another appointment with my counsellor, so hopefully that will help too.

I'm looking forward to all the wonderful things you talk about!!! 💗💗💗
