Rough few days mental health wise. Therapist is on vacation

Rough few days mental health wise. Therapist is on vacation for another week. I felt stupid when I called the emergency mental health services. Once I told them I dont feel like im a danger to myself or others they said “what do you want to happen from this conversation?” And im just like what the heck. My friends arent the best to talk to. They dont exactly get it. Living sober aint easy. Not one bit. But to this day, I will pick figuring out these problems and fighting through my worst moments over the bottle any day.

Call the Crisis hotline. They won’t hang up if you are seeking help, and it’s free. Just dial 988. 2 for 2 when I called them, at least a 90 minute session.

Yeah I’m definitely a dry drunk. I drank myself straight into diabetes, so it’s a good motivator to stay on the straight and narrow. But it’s mainly feeling stable is what I struggle with at times. Thank you again, I will call them tomorrow. It’s good to know that I’m not alone in this

Thank you Derek! Everyone has been so supportive here and it’s really perfect timing. People in recovery get it. My friends aren’t alcoholics so of course they’re not going to understand why I have these episodes all the time. Sometimes I lose sight of that fact.

Haha, you’re telling me. Those dang four lokos :sweat_smile: I was fortunate enough to get the pancreas up and running again. What was your sugar at the day you found out?
