Okay, so Erica - you have about a month of sober time? That's awesome, but for me the emotional stuff didn't die down for a few months - AND I was purposefully working very hard on that aspect of it. Reading, journalling, finding tools to use to cope with emotions. There's a ton of stuff out there from breathing exercises to Tapping to meditation to hard cardio or just gentle stretching. Sleep, nutrition, staying away from too much caffeine or sugar, lots of things had to be working together for me.

Then...thoughts are not facts. I had to find ways to distract myself from negative thinking until my body caught up with my intentions. It took me a good year until I felt emotionally stable and in that year I was very protective of myself in every way.
