Today has been a rough day. Almost 20 years of active addiction. I am realizing how stunted my emotional state and regulation is. No one talks about that. Let's do better to be better.

Hey Dave I agree because I’m right there with you. Give the podcast CrapyChildhood  fairy a try. Free stuff too it has brought me some healing and recovery in my mindset.

Thank you, I will give that a view.
Yes, our emotional maturity stops at the age we started drinking and using. It doesn’t begin to develop again until we sober up and begin “a manner of living which requires rigorous honesty.”
Actually the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous outlines a way of life that moves us away from all the selfishness, dishonesty, self pity and resentment. All markers of emotional immaturity.
There is a solution.
