So theres a shortage on the sleep meds i take and i cant get more til the end of this month. Its been 2 days and the nightmares have come back full fucking swing and i hate it. I used to drink tequila at times like these, it was my “emergency” bottle. Lately ive been keeping busy, going to the gym lots, calling people, going to meetings everyday, etc. Just wanted to vent cause its days like this that i start to miss the booze but i know that relief was temporary and i have to face these things eventually. So this is me facing things. Hit 4 months last week so clearly something is working for me.

Hang in there. I have PTSD too. I don’t have the nightmares. Intrusive thoughts and behaviour. Just keep doing whatever helps. Like me, you’ve obviously discovered booze was bloody rubbish at helping. Just makes it worse. I’m here if you need to shout out.

Congrats on 4 months and 1 week sober. Have you looked into EMDR therapy for your ptsd? Its helped alot of people including me with some past trauma
