Emotional sobriety? What the fuck is that? The ‘Big Red Book of Adult Children of Alcoholics’ describes it as “no excess tension in the body and a neutral reaction to symbolic associations and mental representations of trauma.” In layman’s language, they also describe it as “a connectedness to ourselves and others.” Regardless of how you define “emotional sobriety,” it can truly change your experience with recovery and what it can offer. So, don’t stop at just stopping. Go deeper and discover what emotional sobriety can offer your daily life. See how it can change your behavior patterns and impact some of your most glaring defects. We are all flawed, but some of us may need to dig a little deeper than others.
