Not sure what that means cause I HAVE dealt with it the last 15 years….
Which is why I am in the hospital right now trying to get help.
Trauma stuns the brain development it’s been studied. I have a handful of mental illnesses I struggle with everyday
The right what?
Women with fake tits or women who do surgery on others to give fake tits?
Dealing with it as in therapy, talking about it. I hope the hospital can help. I've survived great trauma and was just saying that until I stopped numbing it and faced some pretty horrific things I'd been thru could I stay sober
I would be more comfortable dead sadly
I’m so, so sorry to hear about all that you are going through & none of us want you to die, for Heaven’s sake! This makes me very sad. I have been sober for over 8.5 months thanks to Annie Grace so please google her & read her 2 books & get her app & listen to her podcasts & her YouTube videos because she’s the BEST in her field!!! And it’s all compassion lead with no judgment!! Good luck 
Rebecca, the a, b & c of How It Works states….
a. We were Alcoholic and could not manage our own lives
b) No human power could relieve our alcoholism
c) God could and would if He were sought.
Remember there is one of all power, may you find him now.
I strongly suggest you get a sponsor and dive into step work. Alcoholics Anonymous has a solution.
Long term sobriety is available to each of us IF we do the work. Keep up the good work. It is a beautiful journey. 
So the hospital did absolutely zilch, zip
Idk why everyone assumes it’s always alcohol first.
Is 2024 they have underground labs making bunch of drugs .
But yes my goal is to go to a meeting a day and get a sponsor to start off
A) I never been that,
B !) super strength
C) I have very little faith in a “god”
I was in denial about my alcoholism too! I thought it was just the drugs I had a problem with. Luckily I woke up, dove into the 12 steps with a sponsor.
Get real honest with yourself and understand that you’re powerless over any mind altering substance…. Alcohol, weed, drugs, prescriptions, etc.
Trust me …..for I’ve been at recovery for an awhile now.
Please begin reading the first 164 pages of the big book. 
This app helps with your struggle everyone’s different dealing with different situations people here care and can help keep reaching out 
In one of my first meetings I sort of balked at the “god” stuff but I was told it can mean whatever you want it to mean. I know you said alcohol isn’t your DOC, but maybe think of God as “Group of Drunks.”
But it’s the only thing that bring my happiness and relieves my pain
I don’t drink!!!! It’s not the only drug out there it’s 2024, but I’m with u on the god thing . I’m not religious but spiritual and do believe in a higher power
MS…. You stated you’ve been struggling for 10 years however you’re still fighting. We. Must. Cease. Fighting. Everything.
Your PRIDE is going to kill you. I know it almost lead to my demise.
Reread my first post and please take my suggestions. For unless we surrender once and for all, jails, institutions and death are the only options available.
Three questions I was asked when I came into the program….. Are you fine yet? Have you had enough pain? Are you “willing“ to go to any lengths to get clean? If the answer is NO, go get done. However knowing you may not make it back. I will pray for you.
I hear you about the alcohol. For myself I'm new here I had 18 years sober and relapsed in 2020 on drugs I didn't want to feel the pain I'm carrying I still don't but I know if I don't my mental illnesses will continue to tell me along with my addiction myself and everyone else would be better off without me. I went to the hospital now I'm in patient currently struggling too but im not alone on the street I'm just kinda alone inpatient so please hang in there just don't give up.
Yeah well I'm an alcoholic addict good to meet you
I went through trying to issues myself but until I put down the drink put the plug in the drug busted my crack pipe quit smoking meth taking pills whatever it was I was doing to change the way I felt I couldn't do anything about my problem and I'm sorry but it wasn't my drinking in my driving it was me coming up on 14 years now
I attempted last week I took 60mg of clonazepam and went to a crisis stabilization unit, the doctor came the second day and was just rude and negative to me. She gave me prescription for sleeping pills and said “ I can’t help you “
It was very frustrating
