Welcome! That is very common with folx like us. Have you gone to any meetings? Checked out AA or SMART?

I hope so- feeling so icky and obsessive right now. I am going to pray for peace and good orderly direction, but first I am going to cry

It’s ok to cry. It’s like a pressure release.
Keep reaching out.

SMART is one of the options for recover meetings. There are some more here:
Resources for our recovery

Welcome to TS!

SMART aren’t as readily available everywhere like AA, but they have online meetings. You just download the ZOOM app and follow the kink from the website at the right time and BAM you’re at a meeting where ever you are. I’ve really enjoyed them. If you want some links let me know. It gives you more stuff to do to keep yourself busy when you need to get through an urge.
