6 month’s clean here.
Among all the things I’ve learned and re-learned in the past 3+ weeks, I’ve found this to be the most true. It’s nearly impossible to respond to trauma in a healthy manner when you’re continuously being hit with it. I had forgotten how years of ongoing childhood trauma caused me to feel and to respond. Struggling through this awful grief these past weeks has reminded me. What I need to keep in the forefront of my mind is that it will eventually get better. I’m holding on to that. Things will get better.
It absolutely will get better and you’re right, it’s tough when it’s one after another and it feels like you can’t catch your breath. Proud of you!
This one got me right in the feels today. Happy sober 24 to you good sir.
I am really loving (maybe needing) all this positivity today.
you are doing amazing!
