Ugh im just going to vent. It doesn’t matter if no one reads this I kind of just want to get it out. I’m sitting in a meeting and im irritated. Traumatic memories have been flooding through the last couple days. I feel like no one understands and yet im too guilty and shamed and desperate to tell snyone why. Im just going to breathe through this and im not going to go get high or drink.

I hope you find the strength and courage to open up to another woman in recovery and let some of this out. Holding this all in is keeping you trapped. It’s time to start finding ways to let go of the past, so that you can find some peace and happiness in today

Stay Strong I too find i need to vent sometimes,its not good for me to have pent up feelings and emotions which leads me to overthinking and self doubt,If I cant find anyone to talk to I go to gym or listen to my recovery playlist to try to assure myself to take it One day at a time.I know its hard and frustrating sometimes,I was struggling at first but im at 7 months strong because I let my Higher Powers take the wheel and guide me I pray for you to reach for that inner strength and persevere
That's good that you aren't using.
Working through things is hard but worth it. Stay strong

I'm a stranger. Hit me up.
Do you have a sponsor? If you can, get phone numbers if you have not do that yet. If you were to call one of them, I can tell you from personal experience that they would be glad that you called them. This is what the recovery fellowship is about. Don’t stay stuck in negative thoughts. I was always stuck in guilt and shame until my sponsor told me to “ see myself as God sees me”. I would have never thought like that.
Nat, thank you. I’m at work right now but I find that taking helps

You have to tell someone even if you forest gump it tell a random person on a bench waiting on a bus. This is something I am coming to realize. But hey I could be wrong, either way stay strong using isn’t worth it and never helps
I'm sorry to hear you're having a hard time or had a hard time I can relate I just kind of went through a summer situation with my IOP group where my facilitator told me just to start fresh next week because of the particular time I had to pick for my group today so she allowed me to leave the meeting so I understand being irritated and busy and other things happening that can trigger stuff but the best thing is you reached out
