Hello all,
Snoozy, there's been some wonderful advice and honesty here. I don't have much to add except that for me, sobriety has become about acceptance and responsibility, both to myself and others. I don't drink. You know I continue to struggle with depression, but no matter how much things suck, I don't drink.
I don't know what else to say. It's very hard, there's no doubt.
I'm worried too, for Ladybug, she hasn't posted in a bit. It would seem that she is trying to manage on her own devices, and in my opinion, at some point, it's just not enough, even with SR and the best of intentions. I want the best for all of us.
I'm not in a good place, very flat, physically exhausted, dizzy a lot, not really enjoying much of anything, but I know even if this is as good as it ever gets, I'm in a better place being sober. It's the responsible thing to do.
Croissant, I hope you're feeling better at this point. Thank you for your honesty.
I see my psychiatrist today and I dread the long, tiresome drive. I felt like cancelling, but that is avoiding responsibility I know.
