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.
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 ),
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.
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
Well done girl! We are here for you, youl be glad when you wake up tomorrow having strengthened your resolve and achieved 3 full weeks sober! Your doing great especially in coming here when your struggling, proud of you
It sure is…nowadays when i get cravings i dont reach for the bottle i stop and try to think what is going on in my life that making me want to comfort over/escape from…weve wired our brains to automatically go for the booze when shit comes up but we can change that by being aware of why we wana go there…it gets easier in time to do that i know that for sure
