-The first hard lesson sobriety gave me, was that I had to feel.
-The feelings I was avoiding by my nightly drinking was insurmountable.
-The amount of over compensating I did during the day because of the guilt of my drinking was exhausting
- The hurt, guilt, sadness, regret, joy, accomplishment, self worth I either hid or felt unworthy of was crippling.
Oohhh things I’ve learned over the past 2 yrs and 9 months of feeling. The strength I’ve found by feeling, the me I’ve found while feeling. My sober years have brought wisdom, healing, and closure, in unimaginably messy ways that likely would have never came to fruition without my sobriety and healing. So, I will continue to not run, not get weighed down, always keep pushing through because healing is a truly incredible journey of strength and inner peace, I don’t want to miss the wisdom that can come from feeling ever again.
