I just get angry over everything that alcohol had taken from me. And I kept running back to it

Well it’s certainly constructive to blame a liquid.

Not to hidden

What is not too hidden, Aaron?

Practice some radical acceptance today. It happened, it sucks, it’s in the past, all you can do is move on. “Put one foot forward for the places you’re going, and one foot back for all the s*** you’ve been through. Pick your pretty little face up because it’s been down for way too long.” Sending virtual hugs. :heart:

I totally totally get it. I was the same exact way. Unfortunately I don’t have an answer for you still. But I could not understand why something that for one was making me feel like @&$# and it totally 100% ruined my entire life. Why on earth would I want something like that?? But I did. And I couldn’t understand why.

It takes so much from you. Everyday is still a struggle to stay away from it even after all the damage it’s caused

Couldn’t agree more. Why!!! Why would we do this to ourselves! It drives me crazy. I lost everything. My house my animals my family my husband. Everything yet I want it. My sponsor says it’s because it lies to you idk.

#10

Yes it’s crazy. My sponsor said it’s a part of the disease and the consequences of it

#11

Still even with the answer right there I have a hard time making sense of it

#12

Tired of being tired I get it keep your head up and be strong

#13

We all did! Don’t beat yourself up. I had 4 children , and was only a selfish mediocre Mother. I kept on running back to king alcohol. If only I could go back and re write time, my beautiful Son may still be alive!

#14

#15
