Just wanna vent

Hello everyone I’m Sara and I’m very new to this I am an addict alcohol and cocaine. Been sober longer off the cocaine then the alcohol I’ll be a month clean the end of this month for alcohol but it’s very hard I just started getting help got a new job I just started but have so much going through my head it’s not funny and all I do is cry yes I wanna vent but judgement awaits and trusting ppl is so hard for me. All I wanna do is drink with everything going on I’m getting the shot for the cravings soon but it’s very hard rn. I know so many ppl can relate but my wake up call was when I messed up my new car I have not totaled just a dent scrapes etc. Blacked out that was my wake up call. I could never recall how I would get home I’m tired of living it so I made a choice which was very hard for me! Thanks everyone for listening have a good day!

If there’s one thing you don’t have to worry about on here is judgmental people. We are all here because we admit I shortcomings it’s almost like a prerequisite to join the club. Lol so forget about that.

Congratulations on making the big step to stop drinking. It is totally normal for emotions to be kind of on a roller coaster because of all the chemicals that have altered oou neural chemistry are readjusting. And scientifically speaking, emotions are chemicals. But it will smooth out kind of like an airplane on the rough taking off, but it will smooth off. You’ll be at a better destination.

someone else mentioned the relationship between Coke and alcohol, they definitely have a synergistic effect. And I swear, after I quit Coke many many years ago, my drinking took a turn for the worse. I had a friend that lost absolutely everything from cocaine but I never even saw him have a beer really. And I asked him if he quit drinking and he said yes he said it was never really his thing and never really had a problem with alcohol, but it will make him go right back to coke. You are in the right place to vent, anytime! Best wishes!
