Hardest part about being and staying sober is facing the trauma and thought you have been avoiding

Agreed! I feel this daily. Hang in there.
Also agree…just finished “quit like a woman” and it was very good for this!
Ya anger can be a quick fix for despair but that’s to be avoided as well so 
I try to remember that prayer can keep me from being alone with a crazy person 
Let today be a victory 
the thoughts an feelings we struggle with are for our good so someday someone will benefit from us an how we learned to fight the good fight

I finally realized I AM WORTHY!! And my trauma isn’t overwhelming as it use to be. It was never our fault and we are worthy of all good things.
The results of the wreckage of my past have come just this week.. I’m now facing incarceration and I’m still sober. In the past I have just went back out drinking and didn’t care.. For once I’ve realized that this is the life I want and need and sobriety has helped my come to this realization.. the next 2 months will be tough but I’m grateful that I have this program and friendships that help me each and everyday.
Face the trauma, deal honestly with the trauma, and free your from medicating the trauma= an improved life.
All the best.
