Thank you for the reply and the ideas you shared. Indeed, alcohol isn’t an option anymore. I realize I have a lot of trouble dealing with my emotions and “sitting” with them. I usually turn to alcohol to numb myself when it hurts, but while drinking, it keeps me in a cycle of going in and out of oblivion and weakening my capacities of resilience.

I’m so happy to hear this. You are caring for yourself, really caring, in a true, authentic way. You are finding yourself. You are seeing yourself, maybe for the first time.
You’re reading This Naked Mind and you are feeling seen by the writing in the book, but you are also being seen by yourself: you are treating yourself as a human, with love and with goals and growth and with respect.
