Molly-
I'm so glad that you are here. I can totally relate to your flood of emotions. Since I stopped numbing my own feelings with food, alcohol, and blaming others, I've had to feel them. Feeling them hurts and gets downright ugly somedays. Thankfully I have the OA tools, my meeting, my sponsor, this forum, and God to ease and heal me.
Working the steps really helps too. The process has given me the freedom and ability to work through the feelings and get to the root. My marriage is better, I'm finally honest with myself and others, and my trust in God has never been greater.
I see you are in Nebraska. I was just there for the first time in May. I visited a friend in Omaha. It's beautiful.
