Me too!! Wanna chat?
Andrea, you’re not alone. Im praying for you. Hang in there, it will get better soon.
I’m here if you want to talk or have any questions.
Hi Andrea! I’m sorry you’re hurting today, go ahead and fill those feelings and don’t react to drinking about those feelings. One of the things that comes alive so greatly is like pouring alcohol on the open wound. It stings it burns. It’s so uncomfortable in those first moments of dealing with life after alcohol. For me, I had a psychic change because my alcoholism was getting stronger by the minute after my divorce, surmounted by losing my children in death. And I still think about drinking because it never goes away. You’ll still think about it, you’ll still dream about it, you will still have urges to drinkyou’ll still remember. Just write about it in a journal, pray about it, cry feel those feelings reach out to a friend who is also an alcoholic regular people who don’t struggle with addiction. Don’t understand our brains. We’re here if you wanna talk.
Good luck
I struggle too
You are not alone
Sorry Andrea that you are hurting right now. Remember alcohol only intensifies those feelings and then the aftermath of drinking is a nightmare with depression and anxiety. Good job for reaching out. We are all here for you if you need to talk with someone
I’m so sorry you’re going through it right now. As someone who has been on this side of things for a long time, I can tell you that the hurt is real, but it won't last. Hang in there.
Sometimes the hardest days are just the ones where we have to sit with the feelings instead of running. I’m glad you reached out here. We’re all in your corner. Keep taking it one small step at a time.
