I just had a really good group session where I opened up more about trauma stuff. The counselor said she thinks my hallucinations/delusions/paranoia are more related to trauma than anything else. We discussed a lot of other stuff like anger and dissociation too. Helpful. First step I'm taking this week is working on sobriety while allowing myself to feel emotions.
I found support groups to be very helpful when I was trying to get sober. There really is no value like the value of one addict helping another.
