How I Survive My Thoughts

Everyday is a struggle for me, when I was drinking, I thought that was helping me cope with everyday life's problems, I'd drink until I couldn't remember what was bothering me. So that's how I made it through all my problems. Two years ago I finally had enough, so I entered rehab through the Veterans Admin. & The VAMC in Dublin Ga, mind you that was my third time with rehab. The first two times I honestly didn't believe that I had a drinking problem & I drank the day I finished the program. After a few years I was trying to rebuild my relationship with my ex-wife and I reentered Rehab & I finally realized & accepted the fact that I truly was an Alcoholic & I took the program seriously and I had honestly changed & became sober for the first time in my life. Everything was going good & cozy until we had an argument over something petty & my Perception of reality became distorted because of my thoughts & beliefs so I told her that I couldn't take it anymore and I left with no place to go. So now here I am homeless, usually hungry, broke & with little hope & I started to drink again. Slowly at first and you know what happened from there, anyway I was able to catch myself before I ended up going head first into that Rabbit Hole again. I checked myself back into Rehab for the fourth time & I'm gaining more knowledge & insight for continuing my Sobriety, I had to have a new start date but I'm okay with that because my Sobriety is the most important thing I've got
Thank You for the Support
