ESSAY June 2022 - Obstacles to Emotional Sobriety - Harvey A. Florida, USA

I was recently asked to write an article for the Essay on Emotional Sobriety.  At first my reaction was to say “No”.  I wanted to say No because I felt, deep down, that most people in SA have difficulty reaching Emotional Sobriety since they can baD - rely reach “lust sobriety”.  Then the realization came to me that instead of saying No, I needed to share my experience, strength and hope in a different way.  I needed to write about the barriers to Emotional Sobriety that I have witnessed in our fellowship for the past 38 years.
