Everything has gone to cr*p this week. Sometimes i feel like giving up on life and drowning at the bottom of a whiskey bottle..some days are harder than others and the struggle is real...i keep telling myself i will never go back to that life no matter how much people will see me struggle.

Good Morning Valerie. You seem to be struggling a little bit. Fight the cravings and get your mind off alcohol. It’s not going to solve anything. Stay strong and keep fighting.

Drowning in the bottle won’t help. You already know that. You know it, you do not need to prove to yourself that you can feel worse. Feel what you feel, but remember to live in the now. There are more things happening than what you’re focused on. Let go. Use your tools that the program has given you. You have more options now than you once knew… don’t shy away from using them. Call someone, do an online meeting, go to a meeting, anything but drinking. Hope everything pans out for you.

Stay strong Valerie. Call a sober friend in your support group and or go to a meeting.
Life is what we focus on. Try starting a daily gratitude practice. I find it impossible to be in both self-pity and gratitude at the same time.
I particularly like when she sings 'your sorrow has been stolen'. It's like I have turned to alcohol and drugs to escape responsibility, but that's not at all how to works.
