Separate that from dealing with life.
Deal with life. Walk through it with some help if you need. No matter WHAT happens, drinking will not help, drinking will not solve anything, drinking will not make you feel better.

Be ok with feeling like crap. Love yourself anyways. Find things you are grateful for every day. Be your own best friend first.
Life is going to happen.
I hit some hard knocks at the beginning of my time out of treatment.
I got support. I was kind to myself.
I made it through sober. And I was SO grateful for that.
And then, I realized, NOTHING could make me drink. Nothing, and nobody, but ME.

No more excuses to drink, being kind to yourself is not punishing yourself with drink. Don't believe the lies your head tells you. Focus on today. Make a choice to stay sober. It's always the choice we make. It takes practice.
Do you have a recovery plan?
