So Im starting on day one again. I keep messing up and Im struggling pretty hard not only with alcoholism but my mental health as well. Struggling with depression and anxiety and manic highs and very low lows. I checked my self into the ER last night because the thoughts of not wanting to be here any more where overpowering. But im home now with support and family. Thank you for letting me post and im sorry that im on day one again.

I admire your persistence in coming back. It is very hard to get sober, harder for some of us than others. I’m rooting for you.

Welcome back Julia, I am glad youre still here. I can really relate to all of your share.
There was a time when I too suffered from debilitating anxiety, depression, and mixed manic episodes. Its exhausting, I remember and I remember how hard it was for me to stay sober during that time. Its a miracle everyday we get clean no matter if they are consecutive, dont ever forget that. The fact you are back here trying again right away is inspiring to me, and it gives me hope. I want you to know that after being a member of narcotics anonymous, staying off substances for 4.5 years and getting outside help I dont suffer with any of those mental health challenges anymore. Thats just my story, but I do believe that I have healed my mind by putting in the work. We do recover Julia, dont ever stop trying. Sending you a huge hug filled with so much love.
:sparkles: :heart:

Thank you so much for this! :heartpulse: I find the mental part of it so hard. Like im clawing to get out of my own skull. Crying to myself that i just cant handle the ups and downs anymore and the unhappiness. So what you said gives me hope :pray::heartpulse::pray:
