Daily Greeting

Oh, very much so! My emotions were all over the place for the first few months! Hard to say how much of that is from my existing mental health situation, and how much is from early sobriety. But yeah, the first while certainly tends to feel more intense for a while. Change is hard, and your brain needs time to take it all in. Not just with thoughts, but to adapt itself on the neural level.

I knew that, when I was taking a trauma informed course. They use that module and 12 steps.

And you are also starting to know the person you really are. Itā€™s weird but also fantastic

That sounds good :slight_smile:

Right I can totally resonate with that. Like rewiring your brain from acting on impulse for so long. It gets difficult because itā€™s been a coping mechanism. A way to self soothe because we were never shown or we never experienced it in a healthy way. (Maybe not for others but definitely for me).

Infact my Mom would make our relationship okay by buying stuff when she abused me. To make it okay. My Dad was never around and he also bought me and bribe me with $ to soothe the painful relationship we had (divorced/abusive parents).

I never really looked at it that way. Do I even like me? Thatā€™s even the deeper question.

So @anon12657779 trying any chamomile?

Have you tried Warmth Tea? Itā€™s got some cinnamon and something else. My daughter she just oozes from how amazing it feels when she needs to relax.

Gooood, maybe ill try some murders ā€¦

No I havenā€™t. If itā€™s not like yogi tea with liquorice?

I hope so. I see photos of me before and I feels off
I feel like I am free falling. Is that normal?

I think it maybe like that LOL!

Canā€™t say really. As long as it doesnā€™t give you bad anxiety or fear?

Sometimes like a threat response. Fear of the unknown. Used to people or something controlling me
