Whenever I get sober moments, which have been rare especially the last month and a half, I get images. I started reading the courage to heal and it has been a total mind f*&k to say the least. Anyways it is hard to know now what is real and what pertains. Like for instance I was resting earlier this evening and I got an flashing image of a man in 80's style tennis or jogging shorts and a white golf shirt as well as a profile of a mans face, one that doesn't belong to my grandfather. Am I to interpret that this image of this man is somehow related to the SA?

Is this a common thing in the beginning, did you guys go through this confusion as well when repressed memories started returning? Also if anyone wouldn't mind, a clear definition of flashback would be helpful.
