Remember, this too shall pass. Are you hungry, angry, lonely, tired? Breathe, meditate, take a nap, go toa meeting. You'll feel better.

The problems still gonna be there when you sober up and you'll just have to deal with it sick. Not the right way to handle the days you have been sober. Sure you can start over again but why. It's not worth it

Joan, this will pass especially if you do the work. The 12 steps multiple times is critical to our emotional sobriety. Service redeems us. Going to meetings helps me remember.
I’m here if you want to talk
I hope you didn’t drink but if you did, get right back to it and don’t continue. Drinking only lets you forget for a short about of time and then it’s only a pause. Leave the past behind you and focus on something else. Anything else! I wish you well and glad you reached out. This helps me too
Get to a meeting when you feel that definite hard thing where you’re like fighting with yourself like one and a punch the alcohol lights out because it’s tapping you on the shoulder, you need to get to a meeting and change the channel in your mind. If it’s not a physical meeting, it needs to be a meeting. I’m going to one this morning.
You can never forget the past, but you can move to a positive future. If we didn't think about the past a lot of us would still be drinking and using. Rely on your higher power to move from your past. If it wasn't for the mistakes we made and our higher power we would have never learned from it. God Bless!
Stay strong!!!
DON'T DRINK. It's not worth it. I have learned that the hard way sooo many times, my life is permanently altered because of it.
