Good morning Zura. Xx how are you, my lovely?
yes, the crying is a huge sign of progress, as far as I am concerned. Not only crying , but feeling the feelings that made me sad , acknowledging them , not running, disconnecting or suppressing & then being able to move through them, look myself in the mirror , talk to inner child.
It has been strange & uncomfortable not to be able to cry at all for so long. I mean obviously it was mostly fine while I was drinking. Having no feelings at all. Kind of the point. But once I started trying to quit last October I was acutely aware that I wasn’t able to feel anything but depression and anxiety and was pretty sure it may bring some degree of relief if I could.
