Hey. Been there. Have you gone to meetings? Reach out. If you are Seriously addicted you may need to be medically detoxed. That’s what saved my life. Then drinking medication also. Just keep fighting because a death from this is awful.

Deep breaths. Inhale peace and love, exhale stress and anxiety. Repeat to yourself that you are ok. Everything is ok. You are safe keep repeating and breathing. Your mind just got stuck in the hamster wheel. It happens to all of us. Recovery is all about finding healthier ways to get our minds to quiet down. It takes practice, but you can do it. Being aware, like you are now, is the starting place. Reaching out for help, like you’re doing now, is the next step. Now practice finding ways to get your mind unstuck. For me, it helps just knowing it’s my mind trying to mess with me. I literally tell it to shut up

That mental stuff is just as draining as the physical stuff. Work WK 75% over then the hard part, being off work. Have a few fun things planned AND recovery meetings, for sure need to be somewhere in person also. Thank you for being there I had no where else to turn. I felt alone again. I don't feel so alone when I reach out
