In early sobriety feelings can get magnified. My T explained it this way to me... It's like you have an open wound thats trying to heal... Every little emotion causes a scab to fall off and the open wound has a hard time healing... It feels like everyone is poking needles into the wound. Using substances dulls our feelings, getting sober wakes up these feelings and eventually, with help, feelings smooth out. It is difficult and painful at first but keep the faith...things WILL get better, with TIME. Lots of meetings, reading and talk with your sponsor, work the program and it will work for you. Somehow, I've managed to be clean and sober for 34-years just by taking one day at a time... Hugs
