โTo 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.โ
โI 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.โ
โIf you've just found this place, nearly four years ago I was exactly where you are. I remember the bottle bank shame like it was yesterday. My kids say I'm back. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do.โ
โPlease 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.โ
