From people who came through it
“Please be gentel with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder. What helped me was writing everything down before appointments, otherwise I forget it all. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here.”
seedrain · been through alcohol recovery“To whoever needs this: I was in the same place nearly four years ago. For me it was the wine o clock habit. This week I went back to my evening class. You're not on your own.”
Fierce Cedar · been through alcohol recovery“Hi, you. A year and a half ago I was exactly where you are. It was the bottle bank shame and I couldn't see past it. These days I mostly feel like me. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. Hang on.”
Sharmin A · been through alcohol recovery“I was where you are eighteen months ago. I remember a spnosor I text like it was yesterday. I've started painting again. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. From someone who gets it.”
