My emotional hangovers turned into substance abuse hangovers which led to a couple stints in rehab. I’m finally pulling myself out of the abyss.

Please keep up the posts! If you didn’t know it by now, you are helping so many! :)

I do think they go hand in hand. The numbing becomes such an easy way to quiet the trauma.

So proud of you!

Wow, I loved this. I get emotional hangovers after arguing with my husband, it can last for days, but I didn't know that had a name. That's exactly what it feels like, an emotional hangover. This was a great read.

I still full stop when I realize I'm handling a situation better than the previous version of me would have... It's like I look around for validation, and then I look in the mirror!

You're an inspiration while being raw and real and fucking hilarious.

Yes! self-realization. All that matters.
