I now truly understand what that means! I met with my sponser today. We meet at 10am then go to a noon meeting and that's usually plenty of time. Well we had to meet after the meeting too. So much has been revealed to me in my relationship to my dad and it was incredibly emotional. After my blah day yesterday and getting no sleep, and all the emotions today, I understand now what they mean by emotional hangover. And....I'm not even half way through and the promises are coming true. My grandma called and told me to call my insurance to find out how much a 93 Honda Civic would be to cover, because she's buying me one tomorrow after work. She recently totalled her car, (she's ok thank God) but doesn't want to drive anymore, and my Impala has no a/c and is not safe and she can't ride in it, so we can't go anywhere anymore. I used to drive her car to take her to lunch/mall stuff like that. She had mentioned getting me a different car before the accident, but I thought it would never really happen. Well I was wrong. My dad is taking us to the dealership tomorrow. Now I'll have a car with a/c and a radio. And I can take my grandma out so she's not stuck in the house. I feel so muted by the emotional day, that I don't think it's sunk in yet. I feel like my dad is not happy about it. I called my sponser and she told me to pray for God to just take it all. Wow....

Those emotional hangovers are good for us, it means we've let our soul do the talking. Glad you're getting a newer car, Rayna! You deserve it. Emotional hangover

rav, those emotional hangovers mean we are doing some work on ourselves and it is not easy work to do. But each little step we take we get a little better and begin to see things a little clearer. keep up the good work, you deserve it.
