I completely understand these thoughts, you really hit the nail in the head. I get so tired of the mental exhaustion trying to abstain that I give up. The truth is, I’ve noticed first hand that it DOES get better, ONLY with time and support (do you attend mtgs or anything?)
That being said even though it’s gotten way better with time for me I’ve still always ended up back at my first drink somehow.
right there with you. I hope it eases off. My therapist suggested making lists of things you want to do in the future or anything else really that will mentally excite you and distract you. Dunno if that might help.
