Anyone else feel like relapsing after a terrible day. I fought with my wife from the time I opened my eyes this morning and all I can think about is self medicating.
Play the movie all the way through! It will only make matters worse and the the guilt, shame and remorse….ugh, nothing is worth that! Deep breath….
Yes ma’am. I’m just exhausted with the daily fighting and it’s starting to wear me out and get the better of me.
I used to think that way, but the 'medicating' only ever made things worse, and I felt like shite for days. It's an old pattern of thinking that I hope goes away for you soon. It's not worth it, or even beneficial at all I promise.
Thanks Josh. I know it’s not the right thing to do. I’m just exhausted fighting with my wife on a daily basis. She’s got me worn down to the point that recovery doesn’t even feel rewarding anymore.
I feel you. It could be worse though, it can always be worse. I hope you two find ways to get along better and experience joy.
Thanks man. God bless you and your recovery.
