Thanks everybody. Days like today though, I just have no idea how to will be possible. I have incredible anxiety and yes some of it is substance induced but I started using the substance for a reason. That problem is still going to be there. I feel kind of hopeless to solve it. It just feels like too much.

Like how am I just supposed to sit there and feel it? I can't, I just can't. Did anyone else feel this way?

Yep. But one of the things I learned is that actually, as vile as the feelings are, they don't kill me. And while sober I was able to learn different ways to deal with them. But I couldn't learn those things until I was sober. Just like you can't learn to swim sitting on the edge of the pool. Or how to ride a bike from the sofa.

You CAN do this. You just CAN. Stop listening to that AV of yours. x
