Day 2, exhausted *TW* Abuse, Bereavement

Sobered up for 6 days and really fell off the wagon. I haven’t had a single drink since Saturday morning, but I’ve had a lot going on.
My dad attacked me and his partner on Friday night (alcohol related, of course) and now I’ve found out that my grandpa died yesterday morning.

Just feeling really low and exhausted at the moment. No intention of drinking, just need some moral support to keep going.

That does sound exhausting. I am glad you shared and posted. :people_hugging::heart:

I am so sorry about your grandfather and the troubles with your dad. Life hands us a lot at times. I hold my sobriety very close when times get hard. The last thing I want or need is an anxiety inducing hangover and feeling worse.

I hope you can find some time to rest and maybe a little walk outside in nature. Sending warm hugs your way.

Also, your post does not need to be in the Seeking Help category, unless you prefer it there. More people would see it on the main forum. I can move it for you if you like. Totally up to you. :heart:

Thank you for the support.

I put it here just in case it would trigger someone. If it’s better off elsewhere then please feel free to move it.

I hope you can carve out some time for rest…it sounds like you really need it. Hopefully you are in a safe place protected from your father. :people_hugging:

I am safe. Between withdrawal and grief/anxiety, I haven’t slept in two days.

I’m wrapped in a cozy blanket with a mug of tea, so fingers crossed I’ll feel a bit better soon.

Thank you again.
