I’m hanging there, not picking up the bottle. Had a few temptations, like when I went to visit my sister but aside from that I’m I’ve been pretty good. I know, it’s early on. And cravings will rise. I feel good about myself and choosing another day of sobriety. I will say that I’m crying a lot. Emotions I’ve bottled up are overflowing now. I’m crying about the divorce, my parents passing, the times I neglected myself, the embarrassments, the blackouts, the survival. All of it. Feels good to be able to sit in that discomfort and allow the wave to pass vs drinking till I black out,

Hi there,
So good that you checked in on TS. I’ve been reading some of your earlier posts just now and understand you had a serious lot to digest because of all what happened recently. It must have been, and stil must be, very tough. Please know I feel you and are in my thoughts. You are very brave to be open and feel what you feel instead of numbing it. “if you are going through hell, keep going” (Churchill).
Best,
