Loved this, Josh.

It reminds me of something a friend told me recently, "information without action is anxiety." It blew my mind to think of it like that but it makes so much sense.

I can feel a similar tension recently and can relate to much of what you wrote here. Thank you for sharing it with us!

Thank you Josh for putting on paper what has materialized in my own recovery. For years, I had numerous aches and pains, feelings of malaise, injuries, some imagined and some real.

It took getting sober, both mentally and physically to acknowledge that.

While my pain and angst were real, when I addressed and worked on what was underneath and behind it, I felt better… much better.

Emotional sobriety is key to my mental and physical wellbeing.

I appreciate your writing.

🙏

Thanks for reading, Dee, and for your share. Emotional sobriety really does seem to be the key. So glad to hear you’ve found a path through those feelings and the wellbeing on the other side.
