BTW....think my post may have been misinterpreted (or could be)...What i meant when I said "isn't it good to feel emotion" was...when I've been drunk I don't have a clue whether or not the way I felt was real or the effects of alcohol. For instance there were times when i was drunk that I felt very very upset about my Mom having Alzheimer's. I cried and cried and cried but then wondered if my crying was related to the effects of the alcohol. Being sober, I do continue to cry as I grieve the loss of my Mom as my Mom without Alzheimer's. BUT, now I know that what I am feeling is REAL...and that my friends for me is FREEDOM. So, I am sorry for all those suffering pain and my heart goes out for them and the emotions that go with that...don't mean to belittle emotion!
