Triggering Emotions
last week was our city's gay pride parade and seeing everyone's photos on fb set me off to the point I was like losing it and self harmed like something in my brain went wacko because I couldn't drink. That's stopped now but did anyone else's brain do this when told no and being cut off?

The way I look at it... no one is telling me "no"... I am liberating myself from the clutches of addiction and the hell and death that comes with it.
Try to take it one day at a time right now.... allow your brain to readjust and the toxins to leave your body.
It is common to experience a sense of loss, and even go through some of the stages of grief when quitting an addictive substance. You are leaving behind a harmful and negative way of dealing with life, and exchanging that for a healthier pattern of functioning.
