i'm getting stronger...

Almost every year nov 9th and 10th I'm plagued with ptsd and flashbacks.

Yesterday, i spent it with my fam and tonight, i listened to Christmas music working on art. I think I'll be ok when i wake up.

there's no more hate or shame or anger or shock or rage.

i think i've finally found some peace.

I love therapy, this place and sobriety.

the ptsd i suffer from doesn't have anything to do with military service, it just so happened on Veteran's day.

What a wonderful feeling to finally have peace. Only with sobriety is it possible, and you’ve accomplished that. I’m happy you’re doing better and finding ways to cope.

I'm very happy for you, BullDog.

Great work on your recovery. Therapy can be difficult at times, but if you stick it out the rewards are worth it.

I'm happy to hear this. I know what it's like to feel that way and how hard it can be to cope with but you did it! Well done
