I’m new to this app, not new at attempting to quit drinking. I am dealing with a ton of repressed anger towards my ex husband. Like years Of it. I’ve found myself drinking more and more here lately. Especially since he got re-married. My behavior has been very erratic. I just want a mental break from feeling like crap.
Thanks for letting me vent.
Within my first hour of being sober.
Welcome! This is a great first step into a better life. Be active! It helps
Welcome to the forum. It sounds like you have a lot you are dealing with in your life. Getting sober won’t be a magic wand, but it will be a pathway to improving your health and emotional wellbeing. This will hopefully allow you to handle some of these things better.
I hope you will come back here often and let this be a tool for you to use in your sobriety journey. You can do this.
I can completely relate!!! I have just finally really started working through my anger with my ex,been sober now 326 days… its hard. There are days I wake up just replaying all the reasons he should feel as hurt as I have but it just ends up hurting my mood and my days to I literally have to push it out of my mind and just focus on anything that brings me happiness and the alcohol never brought me that. Here if you e er need to vent. Proud of you for getting sober. It’s a tough fight.
Thank you! It is definitely hard. I feel like I’m getting divorced all over again.
Welcome ! Your on the right track. Im learning in my recovery this time around that resentments are one of the major triggers for relapse. I have to commit that no person, place, thing or situation is worth my Serenity and Sobriety. Ive learned to accept that not just I have issues, but that even others that don’t drink also have their sickness as well. Sending lots of Hope and Serenity your way !
Welcome! This forum has helped me tremendously. Stick around, interact and read a lot.
