If you’re anything like me you used to chase pain away. It sucks that after you get sober you have to deal with that pain head on.

I get it. It sucks. I went through my first sober heartbreak and sober grief last year. It was harder and easier at the same time. I do know that drinking would have made it worse. Hang in there

We can’t go around our problems, or over them, or under them. We have to go through them. Life gets lifey sometimes and avoidance is often greater than the pain we try to avoid. But if we resist it persists.
The advantage of dealing with pain while sober verses not sober are the results.
Everyone here is like you, Sara.
