So last night around 7 i started have an anxiety attack and i didnt know why. Not even five mins later my cousin called me saying that i needed to talk to my dad and passed me to him. He started bawling and said he od again and that he was in the hospital. This is the second time that i know of. He was at work when it happened passed out in the bathroom shooting up and there of the guys had to do comprestions until the ambulance came with the narcan.
He’s home now thankfully but i wasnt able to sleep good last night and had to call into work because i cant really function today.
I almost said f*ck it to my 7 months sober cuz i wanted to just drink a bottle and forget about this feeling. Idk how i looked away from the liquor section but i did and now im here. Im going to his place to have a talk with him and idk why i posted i guess i just needed to talk it out to people who understand
Best thing to do is stay strong in sobriety, drinking will definitely not make you forget whats happened or make you feel better about it. Keep fighting and go give your dad support, this may be what he needed, his ground zero, to do better from today on.
Stay strong
I want to add @Alicia_flame 7 months is a BIG accomplishment, thats how long I have 7 months 7 days, im proud of you, it has taken alot of willpower through tough times for us to get this far, lets keep going!
I’m so sorry for what you’ve had to experience, that sounds really hard.
Don’t let the alcoholic voice use this bad experience as an excuse to drink. It’s always going to look for a chink in your armour, whether it’s a good time, a celebration, or a rubbish lowest of the low time … the addiction is going to try to get back in. Once you realise this and see it for what it is, you can tell that voice to shut up. More power to you. Life is going to have highs and lows but there is one thing that is certain, you are better off without the alcohol. Your body, your mind and spirit are better without it.
I’m so so sorry for what you’re going through. It’s hard enough to deal with your own demons without dealing with a parents as well. I know all to well. But be the one that breaks the chain. You are doing amazingly at 7 months. I’m so proud of you. Be the one to show those around you that it is possible to live a life clean and sober. Set an example. Be strong. Sending you all the positive energy I’ve got
I am sorry about your Dad. I hope you can get some rest after your visit with him. I am really glad you held strong to your sobriety, 7 months is a huge accomplishment. Also glad you posted here, getting it out helps me a lot, hope it helped you too. Stay strong.
