Hi team
Thank you all for your reflective and personal posts. It is hard to face so much raw family emotion, head on, without numbing ourselves the way we used to.
I think you said something sober45 about how hard it is breaking cycles within our families, and ourselves. I couldn't agree more.
My family is loving but dysfunctional and lost. We all drink. They are in awe that I have got this far into 2020 sober. One of my siblings called it a miracle.
Cityboy, your posts about the stages we are going through seems very similar to mine. Being forced to be present in raw emotionally hard times is definitely the new stage for me.
Confronting real-life pain and issues head-on and sober is as hard for me as it with all of us now. It is comforting to feel we are not the only ones and have this SR group to come back to each day. Learning to face life, good and bad, is what I feel I signed up for.
Have a loving, happy and sober day wonderful classmates
