For the moment, it’s like I’m trapped.
i really appreciate everyone’s advice and good thoughts.
It may feel like you’re trapped, but it looks to me like you’ve gotten yourself free.
I was cleaning out an old drawer today and found some expired Antabuse. It made me smile to throw it away. I knew I’d never need it again.
If you feel that tiny feeling of freedom, that you’ve escaped: grab onto that feeling and run with it. Congrats on getting some sober footing, sohard.
