Emotional Roller Coaster
Sobriety is nothing like I thought it would be.
At first it was one big emotional roller coaster, full of sharp highs and deep lows.
My emotions were new, untested, and I wasn't entirely certain I wanted to deal with them.
I cried when I should have been laughing. I laughed when I should have cried.
Events I thought were the end of the world turned out to be gifts.
It was all very confusing. Slowly things began to even out.
As I began to take the stage of recovery, my role in the pitiful condition of my life became clear.
