this is the best thing i read on the site. to be honest, and AA wont b too happy, i think that it a group setting is good in the beginning but it seems like a crutch in the long run. this is the first thing i have read that seems to actaully deal with the real issue

any particular reason you are knocking everything on this site?

you're here for several minutes, and nothing is correct!?

there are many people here that have improved drastically based upon the behaviors and methods they have learned here.

Welcome to the group.
Perhaps you would want to tell us what brought you here.

Be careful not to become complacent. I too, was clean for 6 months before I had a fall. Numbers are really nice, and we can feel we "have it under control," but often, if we get overly confident, the rough patch is just around the corner.

You fell 2-3 times in 2 years? Maybe you didn't really have a serious problem to begin with.

I had a real problem, it was 3 times a day before GYE, long life to GYE!!!
And after this therapy, it's done and I improve in various way in my life as a man, a husband and father

I agree with you regarding the greatness of GYE. My life and marriage has improved tremendously since being on here.

But still, be careful not to become too complacent. We still need to take things a day at a time.

I would suggest that we all have to look at each day as a struggle-that is a great way at guarding against complacency.

I am sorry but there is no complacency at all in my words, just the happiness that I express after these 6 months of freedom. Coming from 2 years and more of struggle each day.

Understanding emotions is such an important part of recovery. I personally have lists of all the major emotions and what makes me feel them. But what's more important is to express them properly, I think a great way to express them is through conversation and sharing or being a little more vulnerable with others. What do you guys think are some of the best ways to get to know your emotions and expressing them?

One way to get to know your emotions is, that when they come up allow them to be and just experience them. Don't try and move on with something else. Like when you feel sad just feel the feelings.
