Struggling Help

I’ve been depressed and it makes me want to get high so I don’t feel the depression.

Getting high will only suppress the feeling for a short amount of time and when you aren’t high it will be worse because of the guilt and shame that go with it. Start focusing on the amazing thing that you’re doing and that is staying clean. Alot of people die Every single day because they can’t stay clean, you were doing something amazing.

There are other avenues to handle the depression in a more constructive way. Therapy, actual meds made for that…. I am bipolar. But I used alcohol to suppress the mood swings, and it made things so much worse the next morning. Feeding our addiction will not make the underlying things just disappear. It only goes it for the moment. Go to a meeting, call a friend. I know it seems impossible to climb outta the hole but trust me, you can.
