This was about sick people who preyed on me to make a quick buck or to just satisfy a sick urge. You are going to have to take my word for it..... This is different
Welcome to the human race.

Get over it or get revenge, but don't let it rule you.

I can relate to your original post. Drinking allowed me to stuff a lot of painful emotions for a while (until drinking brought about more pain). I was abused a lot when I was much younger, so I had lots of pain to stuff down.

I am finding EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) very helpful in working through past stuff. It is a therapy technique.

EMDR Institute, Inc.
EMDR International Association (both websites have FAQ pages and therapist listings)

I hope you find what works for you!
