TW Self Harm

Hello beautiful people. I have a question, perhaps I should ask my therapist. But has anyone ever felt like hurting themselves while drunk? I won’t say the word because it can be triggering. I feel like living when I’m sober, but sometimes when I’m drunk…dark thoughts loom over me, but I really don’t feel like that. Of course yes I am on the road to sobriety. But is that normal?

For me the most important reason to quit using drugs and alcohol was that in the end all I wanted from using was numbing. And int he end all I wanted was to find the ultimate numbness which was death. This ideation disapeared as soon as I became sober. I don’t want to die or hurt myself. I want to live. Sober and clean.

Absolutely, yeah. I thought about suicide daily for years. Sobriety gave me a chance at life.

Happy to have you with us on the sober train. How are you doing? What’s your recovery plan?

Best wishes!
