It's been a hard day last night unfortunately I have to start counting again. The withdrawal was unbearable I don't know how I do this, I guess I have been drowning my feelings for too long and I can't handle my emotions.

firstly, sorry to hear.
Secondly, your post is somewhat cryptic, so i cannot comment more, except to say that we all tend to think way too much.

I'm not sure whats cryptic in what i wrote.
There comes a time that my emotional pain is to hard to bare which then causes me to act out. Being self absorbed does that to people.
Sorry for the belated answer..

I've been doing better these last few months BH for that. I'm ever so grateful. It hasn't been straight sobriety, but I've been able to get up after falling and can keep sober for some weeks at a time. Something that was alluding me for the last several years.

I attribute this improvement to working the steps, something i have neglected in the past. Also by rejoining GYE, being in touch with some wonderful chevra, keeping up with inspirational journeys that just make me want the same for myself.

I understand now that even though I'm powerless over the addiction I'm not powerless over recovery. I just have to get my life in order, It's that simple, even though it's not easy.

There is the physical aspect. Then there is the extra time and opportunity. Both could lead (and have in the past) to lusting episodes.
