I believe the tears are necessary because we’ve kept them bottled up during our drinking and using career. I had to sit in some of the most uncomfortable emotions in early sobriety that I never had before. The tears and discomfort was just what I needed to release from my body. Now that I have some time in sobriety the emotions are less often they do show up once in awhile. They don’t last forever, Thank you God!
Hang in there! This too shall pass.
I can say that when I do get in a funk with my emotions I go to a meeting. I call my sponsor. I call others in the program. I try to be of service. This helps me a lot. I don’t need to change the way I feel with food, drink or drugs. Just a good old fashion one on one conversation with another alcoholic.
I pray for your healing. That circumstance will change. I pray that the fear will leave in Jesus name.
Have a blessed day my friend.

Hey Lisa, how you feeling today?? Everyday we choose to not use, is another day in the fight that we are winning regardless of the mental and emotional pain or distress we are feeling in that moment. I'm learning to embrace the downs just like the ups and work through it instead of getting around it the way I use to with drinking. Hope today is a bit better for you, keep fighting​:muscle:t4::pray:t4:

Consider this time for what it is,
How long have you truly lived through a feeling not ran from it numbed it or been afraid of it?
Your feelings are yours to own and use for your benefit to learn from. Or choose not to learn how to frame them or compartmentalism them.
Now is the time for a look inside yourself. Have you ever learned to just take a moment to feel without fighting?
Then ask yourself what good can come from this?
Learning growth and honest faith that if you keep doing the best next right thing you will be protected and cared for.
It’s darkest and the most cold just before The Dawn.
There’s someone very powerful that Loves you
Cares for you
And wants to be with you.
try and imagine it if you don’t believe it
Just once
