I'm having a bit of a struggle of my own. I've got this big college interview coming up, and then my first day of work. I want a drink to take the edge off. I was going to buy a vape with nicotine as a kind of compromise, but that's not such a good idea either! Addicts logic I guess. I know that once I've got through this week sober then it'll be another hurdle I've crossed, it's just feeling really difficult right now.
We all spend lifetimes trying to 'take the edge off.'
Funnt thing tho - once I faced 'the edge' I realised it wasn't actually that bad...
A little discomfort, but mostly fear of the unknown...
once I started to make the unknown known, I actually lost a lot of anxiety,
Doesn't mean I can't still freak out a little - but I found exercise really kicks anxiety's butt.
Keep moving forward OT...You're doing awesomely
