Day Damn 0.46

I failed. I slipped off last Wednesday, felt it was just ok, after 2 weeks, still motivated to stay sober. Then on Saturday I blacked out. My gf washed me and the whole bed, I let you guess why. Big talk with her the next day, and then goes to groceries and drink secretly. Then yesterday I just drank the whole day. I ended up Mr Hyde just wanted to hurt myself and disappear.

Clearly just working out more isn’t doing it. I just can’t drink. I have to be honest with myself. It’s a pattern, the same circle going around since years.

I don’t even like beer and drinks. I just enjoy it because I know it’ll numb me.

Haven’t been able to get passed 20 days since I stopped therapy. So this morning I called my therapist, we’ll see if she still have places for me.

Of course now I have a paper due tomorrow, I didn’t do shit the past week, and now I feel like shit. Going to be a rough day battling the thoughts of shame and guilt. But I am reading some good books these days, and I still feel the strong motivation I had last time to get sober. But motivation itself isn’t enough. I have to remember, I can’t lie to myself: if I drink I’ll become Mr Hyde again and this is no good. What’s hard is when I start feeling that I don’t care about myself and then self-destroying or sabotage feels perfectly adjusted to what I deserve. This is why therapy is important to me, because if I just focus on sobriety itself it become so painful and I become obsessed and then I just want the obsession to go away. I’ll have to give it more thoughts. I know now for sure I can’t just give up on the observation of myself after 2 weeks: this is where I always go back to case one.

Anyways, have a great day everyone. It is a good day to find what sobriety can give you, which mean what your not-numbed self can do.
Let’s go :muscle:

Thank you Donna! You’re awesome! At least my friends remember. My fucking husband hasn’t said a word and I’m not big on celebrating, just an acknowledgment from him would be nice.
