Maybe find the right group for you? Make new, sober friends? Reach out to others that struggle like you? You just need to find your purpose again. You are worth it and you're doing great so far. I wish I had a single answer or miracle for you but just continue working on yourself and allow yourself to feel. Cry, laugh, yell, sleep in, do what you need. Best of luck!

I feel ya about dealing with negative emotions in a healthy way. I am still trying to figure that out on my own. I'm not in therapy, I feel like I need to be. I think that I am at the point in recovery where I am ready for life to start rapidly changing for the better and I'm being impatient. I am trying to learn the difference between being patient & not procrastinating. It's a fine line for me. Lol.
I think that I will continue to give myself some more time over the next couple of months to deal with my relapse in anxiety. (Don't even know if that is the correct terminology...I was feeling better for a couple of months & then this month I've been hit hard with crippling anxiety)
I think that you are right about needing to get out & be around other people, it's hard with my anxiety being as bad as it has been. It's also hard when I'm a single parent w/ no babysitter. Maybe I should try the therapy appointment first, and start out small. [emoji4]
