Thanks Anna.
Feeling a bit odd
. There are many, many thoughts going through my head that I'm struggling with:
- I feel like a fraud asking for help because other people have far worse problems than me, and in comparison I have it very easy. Am I really an alcoholic or just pretending to be? [nb - the facts speak quite clearly on that]
- One .sig that I've seen is "
I have never woken up sober and hangover-free wishing I had been drunk the night before." Although I relate to the sentiment very well, damn it, there are some days where I have wished exactly that. Hangovers can be used to give legitimacy to feeling like s**t.
- Am I merely substituting SR for alcohol as a crutch?
- Do I really deserve any help anyway?
And so on, and so forth.
Rationally, I can produce the "correct" answers to all of these questions, but I'm not too convinced that I believe them. So in the meantime, I'm simply continuing to stumble along sober
Thanks for listening...
