4yrs+ sober and I can't believe the overwhelming feeling when it came to falling for someone for the first time while being clean. Barely getting back into the dating realm. You would think you can control your emotions or reactions with being clear minded but then all of these unknown sensations (feelings) start to come out. Not only that, the overwhelming heartache that came with this first experience as well. These unimaginable everything is on overdrive. 2/3 of my life you can say were clouded and I may not properly know what these true raw emotions means but dammm how it really hurts not understanding it. You hardly hear anyone talking about this. So please tell me your story, how you overcame and embrace love while being sober!
