Even after 24 years of sobriety there are times when i have a overwhelming sense of sadness. I won't use. I will just honor my feelings and be kind to myself.

I like the version of myself now. Therapy. Understanding that I have no control over my addiction.talking about the trauma I went through. And knowing that I am valuable as a person. Not easy,

That is for sure
I used to think if I got sober I’d never feel like this again. Turns out the goal wasn’t to stop feeling. It was to stop running from my feelings. Thanks for the reminder.
