I did the same, drank through the grief of the many losses I faced and I'm feeling it all over again sober. I was also a daily drinker with a few days here and there. AA helped me with alcoholism support. I'm considering going to a grief group. Maybe you could try the same.

I was an opiates and Xanax’s addict for 20 years.

I miss the act of snorting still I don’t miss the hi and lows and unmanageable ability to process death and grief.

I've suffered so much grief over the years .I realized that it is better to gi through the grieving process without numbing my feelings and that is how I deal with it now and it is real.I m sorry for your loss and I hope you find the strength your looking for to help process it all and get through. We all grieve the same but some take longer than others to get through it. Have Darth it passes in time and alcohol or drugs only hurt us more. The pain is still there after we use.

That's hard, I'm sorry you are going through that
