The big feelings are back

This week has been very hard :frowning: I had a nightmare last night and almost went into sleep paralysis, which I haven’t had since before my drug use. The feelings and memories are super hard, but I’m telling myself it’s part of the process of healing in recovery. None the less, I’m still grateful for my sobriety!!!! Also here’s a pic of my cat in her blankey for everyones enjoyment :yum:

One big thing sobriety has allowed me to do is therapy. I tried a couple times during active addiction and couldn't keep with it. I have alot of baggage from childhood trauma in foster homes that I was never able to understand or deal with. The last 15 months I've been able to start coping through therapy.

That's just part of my story.

Unfortunately nightmares will happen on and off for awhile. It gets better and easier.

Good job making it through it. Nightmares are the worse and stop me from wanting to sleep. I prey a lot of nights for good dreams not bad and protection from any harm or evil that may come my way. It’s mainly when I think about past things. But good job working through yours

I'll be making a few trips up to Washington soon because of my new role, possibly with the entire family. If you need support, we are here.
