Toothache
I've been having some difficulty lately I never thought I would ever deal with. I recently had to have a cracked tooth pulled and now that it's healing I've been getting these near uncontrollable urges to mess with the wound. I have been SH sober for nearly a year now but I'm not sure if this counts anymore. (Because I've been messing with this wound with the intent to cause pain).
I never thought something like a dental procedure would be triggering for me, and I worry about dry socket or infection but the anxiety makes it worse?
I'm not sure if this counts as a relapse but I've started going back through my old journals to my old coping mechanisms again, wish me luck.
