Beautiful words, encouraging words, thank you. I’m working on learning to sit with difficult emotions. It’s still a struggle, but I’m not turning to chemicals anymore to get me through the hard stuff.
Well it helped me to remember that it was just putting a bandaid on the problem. That didn't go away, the problem would still be there when I sobered up! 😳
Damn right, friend 🎤. I used to justify my heavy drinking because I needed to relax, or take "the edge off," because it was Friday, because it was Tuesday...
I began to realize that I was rationalizing my behaviors even though I hated it by that point. Fast forward 9 years, I have an occasional glass of champagne 🥂 when I choose to, not because I'm dependent on it. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thanks for your brutal honesty, I hope it encourages another person! 🌸
That’s me right now, I’ve been wanting to quit and have done so number of times only to fall back into it again. It’s been years now… but I’m hopeful it can happen for me
