Have you tried any speaker tapes? There are some great talks you can pull up on youtube or recovery audio.

Good luck

Would he rather you wake him or potentially cut yourself.

Please do not hurt yourself. You know it solves nothing.

Take yourself away from the house and the knives, can you do that? I know its early in Edinburgh but maybe you can go for a walk, is it still snowing there? where in edinburgh are you? Can you take a walk in the meadows or through Princes street gardens, somewhere where it's peaceful.
please don't hurt yourself grantmeserenity, keep posting here.
You know it isn't going to do you any good by using or cutting.
Thinking of you hun..

It doesn't sound very supportive of your husband.
Do you have anyone else where you are that you can turn too.
Just remember that we are all here for you too hun.
Stay strong..

Of cause it's Scotland, it doesn't get light until 830am in winter.
What was the meeting for? AA? or something else?
I'm glad your husband is awake with you now.

Good morning GrantmeSerenity. I am in Edinburgh too and I researeched the other day a cafe near the meadows run by, and aimed at those of us in recovery. I think it is called the serenity cafe. Why don't you walk past and see if anyone is there.
Please take care of yourself .
