From people who came through it
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
Fierce Cedar ยท been through alcohol recoveryโI 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
nightowl ยท been through alcohol recoveryโPlease 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
seedrain ยท been through alcohol recoveryโTo anyone just starting: I know it feels impossible right now. The mornings are the hardest, but they do get easier. Find someone you can text when you want a drink, even if it's just to say you're struggling. Take it hour by hour if you have to. And don't beat yourself up for the past. Your kids just want you present. I'm still figuring it out, but I'm here.โ
