โHi, 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.โ
โIf you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy. The first few months were the worst of my life. But I'm writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad. Routine saved me. Same time up, same walk, same tea. Go slowly. God willing it gets easier.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
โA note for the next person. I was where you are eighteen months ago. A sponsor I text. That was my life. Last weekend I went to a friend's birthday and stayed till the end. You get yourself back in pieces. One day at a time.โ
