I survived the Super Bowl sober and woke up today happy (on a Monday). I can’t say I’ve felt much of anything in years. I hope as I move through this journey I start feeling again and allow myself to work through my feelings rather than drown them.

Beware what you wish for lol....those emotions that you've been numbing can come back hard at times; unexpected and not even coherent sometimes 🤷. The brain just has to adjust to sobriety and sort out those neural pathways. It usually takes a while as most of us took years to mess up such pathways. But some of the emotions coming back , such as joy and feelings of accomplishment, are wonderful. Everyone is different...mine just came back sporadically after 10+ years of drinking every night 
. Good luck on your journey. Sounds like you are doing it right.
