Alcoholic Relapse
Welcome Julia. The alcohol only blocks the pain for so long. Eventually, you are going to have to deal with reality as awful as it seems. I hope you plan to get sober and are able to deal with your pain on a more level ground. Good luck!
One of my sponsors used to tell me it wasn't the "why" that was important. What was important is "what do I do now."
Alcohol never solved a thing for me, just made things worse.
When I first got sober, I was afraid of feeling my feelings! I had medicated them for years with alcohol and drugs.
I reached out for help and have had a tremendous amount of support over the years.
I haven't found it necessary to drink because I was mad, sad, depressed, anxious, bored, etc. etc. for 23 years now.
Recovery is possible.,
Gentle hugs to you.

Welcome Juilia. Sobriety is definitely unfamiliar ground for each and every one of us at first. But it's worth it - and so are you. Have you come here to find a way to quit? If so you hit the jackpot - tell us how we can help.
