Emotions

This is for drunks.  Others just wait for tomorrow's blog.  While drinking, many emotions are blocked, held in check or just obliterated.  So, with sobriety, through some spiritual recovery program, these emotions will begin to pour out.  Instead of numb, you will now "feel."  Emotions may gush out in torrents!  This is very discomforting at first.  But it is the natural process in healing.  That is why recovery is not meant to be done alone.  A fellow sufferer, who has been through the same emotional binges, will be of great help.  Normal people may not understand.  You may be in a big person body, but you are still an emotional adolescent.  Feelings are normal!  What a concept for the recovering person who is coming out of the fog of active addiction.
