Feels like there is no way out
Hi Everyone
I have been a functioning alcoholic for about 20 years. It has gotten to a point where I would try to plan my days around how to get a drink. It always seemed like I was able to control the situation, but after a couple of drinks, all stops signs have been removed and I would end up completely drunk. I've have gotten to a point that either this problem will problem will get corrected or I will loose my family. About two months ago I started seeing a psychologists who suggested I try meditation as a part of the treatment. So far it has been two weeks without a drink. Things appear clearer, sleeping and concentration have improved. My only concern are the cravings. They appear out of no where and can take over my mind. I hope with time things will get better where all the support from family and doctor will pay off, but for now it is an struggle everyday.
Thanks for reading.
