Carl, feel great! You’re sober 4.5 years and that’s awesome!
At 5-6 years I was dry and miserable. I really needed to expand my gratitude, peace and love. I have to practice meditation, gratitude and unconditional love. Service really helps too.
I’m here if you want to talk.

Address every little thing that has you upset or uncomfortable. Be thorough. You gotta do you, bro!

If nothing changes, nothing changes. Fantastic and amazing that your at 4.5 years, but the emotional and spiritual damage from substance abuse will last forever unless you get up and do something about it. Some good advice here

Get up and go do something that makes you happy. Sitting in your thoughts can get dark. Mine do as I’m sure all of ours do. You’ve made an amazing accomplishment that we all strive for. For that, you really should be so proud of yourself

In a similar boat. Just kinda avoiding people because I don't want to deal with what comes with interacting with people.

Once we put everything into perspective we start feeling things that we have been trying not to deal with or feel it’s difficult the more difficult our lives were the more work we have to do it’s not easy but worth it you have to believe that things will get better 
‍🩹 this process of recovery has showed us through others that have made it that it works your stronger than you think find something that gives you some joy don’t stop until you do it’s a start to feeling something good your going to be ok

Yo, so when my bro got like that he would work on self by meditating, but finding peace in the silence. Resulting in self act separate. View the word as a giant reflection of self , when things come up that trigger those thoughts find it in self then look at self in the mirror, forgive self , then do your best to not repeat the action that brought those feelings in the first place. Your family is huge and always there.
