I understand how you can hate the world right now.
Please don’t hate yourself.
You’ve done lots of good rehabilitation on yourself.
Lots of hard work and progress.
30 days in jail doesn’t sound good but I would expect that it will go by quickly.
I hope that you will be able to maintain a lot of the support that you have now, I hope after you are out that you will be able to pick back up where you are now. Again, you have done lots of rehabilitation and you have gone forward with your sobriety and with your mental health
Yes, this is a setback but try not to let it take you all the way down.
You are strong and you can get through this.
I’m sorry that this is what happened but this is what happened.
Lots of people on the forum have gone to jail and they have gotten out and gone on. There is support here for you.
Big hugs.
This won’t wreck my sobriety at all, I’ve been through a ton of shit this year and haven’t had one single craving. What is being wrecked is my mental health and some of the replies hurt me more than you know. I know I was in the wrong and I accept the consequences. I don’t even wish that it never happened because it is what has kept me sober, even with all that has happened to me. I’m just terrified & sad beyond words and people accusing me of not talking responsibility for my actions has not helped my mental health, it made it so much worse because all of this is still fresh and an open wound.
I’m sorry and I think I get where you’re coming from. While I don’t think anyone here meant any harm in their replies, sometimes it’s easier to be detached and objective when reading words on a screen. If that makes sense?
I know you know you were in the wrong and you didn’t need anyone to remind you. This is a silly example, but like… I’m fat. I’ve put on a lot of weight in the past few years for various reasons. I know I’m fat. I have a mirror. I don’t need anyone telling me how I look. And sometimes I’ll complain about it.
My point is, you posted something raw and I’m sorry the replies here weren’t the most helpful. You’re going through a tough time, and it’s ok to be angry about it. You know you made a mistake and I get that you didn’t need reminding.
But you’ve worked really hard to turn your life around. That’s huge and you should be proud of yourself.
