Somehow my parents misunderstood me when i said no alcohol around me in the house. And they each brought some in. Now I’m starting to get anxious and about to break down.
I’m lost

Hi, I’d take a second to breathe. Focus on your breath and nothing else, slow breaths in and out. It sounds like a tough spot to be in but we are all here for you.

You’re not lost, you’re here. Because you know what you want. Explain to your parents. Or don’t and just say there’s been a mistake. Some breaths seem like a good plan too. To begin with. You’re not alone. Hugs.
Stay on here and work through it with us.
Im about to have a panic attack. The thought of having a drink is exciting and scary. Ive worked so hard to become sober. They dont even acknowledge i have a problem tbh

Hi Aura, glad you’re here. One of the best advice I’ve received when having an urge is ‘Play the Tape Forward’ what will happen if you drink, will it make you happy? Will it end well? Are you willing to throw away what you’ve worked for and is it worth it? We’re all here for you and support you, stay strong

I’m sorry your parents are being the way they are and putting your sobriety in jeopardy.
In a perfect world we would not want any alcohol around us when we’re trying not to drink especially from people that we would expect to be supportive. It sounds like they have their own problem with alcohol. Don’t let that be yours. I read back and see that you are surviving from cutting yourself. You have refrained from doing that all on your own. That’s not something that people could really help you with I don’t think. So I’m asking you to take that strength that you have to keep yourself from cutting yourself and putting it towards not drinking and not cutting yourself.
I know you’re proud of yourself from not drinking. Don’t throw that away. Keep it precious to yourself. It’s nothing exciting about it and you would just feel awful with the blown sobriety. Stay sober stay here and keep posting. I’m sorry about your parents and how disregarding they are of what you’re trying to do. That is their problem. Try not to let it be yours also. Hugs
