Struggling at the moment

I’m feeling down too but nothing negative I can do can make this situation any better. I choose to just acknowledge that it’s a feeling and these feelings will pass.

I hope that you can do this too, you deserve to live life for what it is. Good and bad. I know that there are many people here willing to support you, including myself during this low state of mind.

Have a deep breath Emma…dont undo all your hard work…a bad day at work wont be made any better by putting poison into your body, you have to find another way of soothing yourself…stop sitting there torturing yourself drive yourself home and have a nice hot bubble bath instead xx

You’ll hit the three week tomorrow lady. A bottle of wine would give you temporary relief for a couple of hours and tomorrow it’d be so much worse. Don’t believe the lies addiction comes up with to make you fall back in its grip. it’s so not worth it. Hang in there. Good you’re here. You’re not alone Emma Louise. :people_hugging:

Ahh cmon girl, you got this. A good movie, some freshly popped popcorn (you know the old fashioned over the stove that ya shake and the tinfoil hat pops out (hmm I wonder if that’s where the flat earthers came up with the tinfoil hat :thinking:),
A nice soda pop of your choice, followed by a warm bath and early to bed…
Things will look better in the morn after a good early walk to grab a coffee at your favorite stop.

Best to you

Hey, I just struggled for two hours. Pacing about, bargaining with self…a Londis a few minutes walk from my apartment.

Fight harder than it’s fighting you. I’ll stay sober with you tonight.

Thank you everyone. I couldn’t help buying a bottle but but as soon as I got home, I gave it to my mum to have instead. Just going to have a hot shower, get into bed with a bottle of dr pepper and watch a film

I’ll be sitting in an ice cold rink (perhaps with a bag of popcorn and soda), but with you in spirit of being sober… wouldn’t want in any other way…

Well my personal advice is to pour it all out.

That’s unless you don’t enjoy waking in the morning feeling better than you will if you put it to your mouth.

Choose well.
