3 months and 11 days today but I feel the slightest inconvenience could take me out. Am I setting myself up for failure?

"Am I setting myself up for failure"? Hard to tell.

What are you doing to set yourself up for success? Answer that, and the answer to your first question becomes clear.

I appreciate that Brother. I’m living in a treatment facility so I’m safe. My councillor thinks it’s PAWS and is probably right. Just feeling irritable today

Right. So what do you have in place to help with those feelings? Do you have a support network?

I’m living in a treatment facility working on myself. Some days better than others. Today happens to be a downer.

Do you have a sponsor? Are you working the steps?

I remember being in treatment my suggestions are slow down. Try to take everything in and remember while you’re in there you are safe, so let go of anything you can and when I say let go, I mean the things that you are fearing to let go of those deep, dark secrets. Try to let outin the safe place you are in

I get it man. Don't give up. Put yourself out there, get to know people. Go to discussion meetings and share with the group. You got this.

I understand. Anxiety is tough. Also when you’re dealing with alcoholism and addiction.. Just push through it little by little good things come to those who work for you got this
