This is how I felt yesterday and I kind of wish I had read it beforehand, but I was able to reach out to several people through the phone and that helped! Thanks again! Hi Mark,

As I've thought about it since writing this post a few days ago, I am really glad I included the last part -- about reaching out and getting help if you need it. We do tend to isolate. But I still stand by the main point that there are times when we can - and should - just let ourselves sit with those feelings of emptiness and restlessness. We will likely find that they are not as powerful or long-lasting as we thought they would be. - Mark Thanks for your comments Matt.

In my recovery I've been learning to face all the scary stuff that I used to run away from - fear, conflict, anger, anxiety, emptiness. Reaching out to others and breaking isolation also helps, but sometimes you still have to show up and face the emptiness, holding the tension of it, until it turns into something less painful and more fruitful. Thanks. Hey Mark:
