"There's never going to be 'good' time to deal with the shit you haven't dealt with for all these years. If you don't decide to deal with it, it will continue to drag you down. Do the work now, here. There are people here to help you through it all."
"I don't feel ready to deal with it. I don't even know what 'it' is. So how can I deal with it if I don't know what it is..?!?!"
"You'll have to be the one to decide that. Have you ever just sat with a feeling long enough to actually feel it? It seems to me, from getting to know you, that you run from the feelings and reach for the drug. And now that you're sober, the drug is no longer an option anymore. I've noticed that you distract yourself from the discomfort you feel by occupying yourself with something. That's not healthy. Let yourself sit in the uncomfortable places, both in your physical space, and your heart space."
