You all! Putting these link-ups together has been such a treat. I love seeing so many different voices - people with all kinds of stories and paths to getting and staying alcohol-free - hanging out here together. Thank you for your writing and presence in the world. ❤️

This is an excellent description of how to process feelings and emotions. Feelings and emotions were always triggers for me. They were my excuse for my binge drinking. 10+ years sober now. I'm processing my feelings and emotions instead of drinking about them! ❤️
