Frustrated and annoyed

Bit of a rant, another morning of day one, Back here to try again, last had this app Feb 2024. Not drinking as much, but I shouldn’t drink at all! Just so done with being skint and in so much debt, but still spending money on drink. Not to avoid accountability of myself, but I’m very angry at the past for not having proper tools and guidance on realistic and healthy relationship with money. Including Since my teens mom always gave me like a 20 so I can go drink!? Wtf was that about?! I didn’t have any boundaries or routine and now it’s so hard to learn at 36.. I need to budget and learn at least a bit of self control, discipline and consistency. So mad at myself as well for not knowing how. Any tips how to be consistent and such welcome, like how to actually stick to trackers and what not.

I got some disabilities and disorders that makes emotional regulation a nightmare.. Something I just need to accept I think.

Hey Soup, sorry you’re having a rough time & all. I was all over the place in my head until I connected with AA & therapy. Those two things along with being here daily helped me be consistent in my desire to stay sober, working through my feelings/emotions and developing a new way of doing life. A healthier way…

I’m not special, you can do it too!
