As I close in on ten months, I’m realizing that now I am fully experiencing all of the emotions and problems I used to mask either with outright alcohol abuse or the subsequent cravings I had in early sobriety. A catch all to focus on instead of focusing on the issue beneath.
Now, as I realize I don’t crave alcohol at all, or being in bars, I feel the totality of the emotion or problem itself, not just the mask I would run to in order to solve the issue.
