It has been a huge step for me to face this all finally. I am a recovering drug addict with 5 yrs of sobriety and married to vthe love of my life for 2 years. I have avoided therapy for several years because drudging thru stuff would cause me to relapse.
I knew eventually I would need to face it. I have been overwhelmed with emotions today....some happy and some sad....
I have more to add but cant organize my thoughts right now..

You're doing the right thing!
The tension of keeping the past bottled up inside you actually drives you towards relapse. Not wanting to face the "demons" makes your mind seek escapes.
Let it all out....all that is in there is unexpressed emotions....let them be expressed and you're on your way to a true healing.
The beautiful dawn of a new day always follows scary darkness of the night....you'll be better than alright, but first the emotional house keeping...
