And oh sweetheart.....if only I could make you believe that this is so so so so normal....that as thinking caring sensitive FEELING people who numbed the pain, yes, it floods out....it comes rushing at us so fast and so hard that it is too much.

When I was first sober, for months I mean.....I cried at the perfection of the sun on the road....a bloody mirage would set me off. It was so so beautiful.

And I couldn't watch sad ads, sad TV AT ALL for like a year....I was always flooded with emotions that were way too big for me.

It settled. Some.
Now I am just overjoyed like a child most of the time. :)
Sometimes overwhelmed with sadness at events in the world....but better. Much better.

It gets better. It gets easier honey. :hug: ♥

Thank you suze! I am pretty stoked!

Gabe, I am sorry you are having such a hard time. I understand the low self worth issue well. It's hard to see all the good in ourselves that others see and tell us about. Even though I dont know you well, I'd venture to say you are an amazing, strong and kind woman who deserves more credit than you give yourself.
Good job getting NA beer and not real beer. I get it occasionally as well and find it eases the gnawing just fine and i feel less inclined to get anything else. Although I don't make a habit of it.

Kenton - Sorry for your embarrassing stumble but I just had to laugh because apologizing to yourself is just so British. Hope your day gets better.

Its a rainy day here in mud slide prone SoCal with thousands evacuated from nearby Montecito due to potential flooding. I intend to stay safe and dry for the next 24 hours.

Thought for the Day

In A.A. we forget about the future. We know from experience that as time goes on, the future takes care of itself. Everything works out well, as long as we stay sober. All we need to think about is today. When we get up in the morning and see the sun shining in the window, we thank God that He has given us another day to enjoy because we're sober, a day in which we may have a chance to help somebody. Do I know that this day is all I have and that with God's help I can stay sober today?
