I can relate to your sentiment about dealing with the pains without the substances. I started going to therapy for childhood trauma, but didn't get far until I got sober. Sometimes it didn't look pretty, but I am still sober and showing up for the ups and downs that is this life.
This is 100 percent truth. Alcohol was the numbing agent for so much emotional pain I didn’t want to feel, however, it generally ended up causing me more problems and hurt. Only when I started dealing with my trauma and healing myself was I able to see that walking through the fire is the only way to overcome it. It’s hard but it’s better than delaying the inevitable. Thanks for sharing this
