Having to feel each and every emotion with unflinching clarity is EXHAUSTING.

So true lol. Be brave. You can handle it. You will learn so much from not escaping your Eling’s and emotions. Awareness is the first step. Think of it as a blessing not a curse. My automatic reaction to feeling uncomfortable is to want to run, to escape etc. I’ve learned to dig in and figure out the why’s I’m feeling anxious. I believe growth and recovery come from processing these emotions in a healthy way, and eventually rewire our thinking so that we aren’t feeling these intense uncomfortable feelings on a regular basis

Completely agree!! Some days worse than others but each day sober is a blessing and at the end of the night and first thing in the morning feels great! Throughout the day can be challenging but choosing this journey means we're ready or need the challenge for a life change. Stay strong, you got this!

Emotions and feelings change. They’re like the weather - it may be the same for a day or two, but it will pass. They can also be treated as thoughts in meditation practice - they come in the front door, but leave the back door open for them to leave. Don’t invite them to sit down for some tea. Don’t attach to them, let them go.

I couldn't have said it better than you. Great reply!
It isn't just the feeling but the thoughts that go with that feeling thoughts that take us to the shoulda, woulda, coulda of what we have done to the future of it's all going to be horrible and oh the humanity. Stay in the now and breathe and know small actions even if it is sitting still may make the future brighter.
