I spiraled out of control and crashed

Not literally, but it feels like it emotionally. I could have seriously gotten hurt or hurt somebody else because i wanted to get hammered to numb my emotions. A huge wake-up call that i pray keeps me on the right path. I never want to feel like that again. I miss myself before alcohol.

There's a level of empowerment to come here and say I made a mistake. It shows a commitment to yourself and it shows it to others that you want to succeed and are struggling. You are not alone in wanting to numb your emotions. Our emotions make us human and alive where we can experience the natural highs just as we experience the natural lows.

I'll also say this: emotions are like visitors, they come just as they go. Embrace the good ones and work on letting the bad ones from overstaying.
