Heartbroken, check-in
Lost my beautiful 2 year old German Shepherd due to complications from epilepsy and started drinking again. I'm 10 days sober right now, just discouraged I was not able to get through the loss that way. Checking back in with hopes of getting back on track to a healthier life.
Hope everyone has been doing well, as this years been difficult for all.

Congrats on 10 days Saoirse.
I had a relapse a few months after we lost our sweet female Shepherd cross. “Lucy”
You have a good start, keep it up. Don’t be like me. I suffered through 6 years of on/off drinking. My family suffered too.
Keep posting.
The best to you.

Saoirse, I an so very sorry for your loss of your beautiful German Shepherd. I lost my beautiful German Shepherd boy to an unconquerable illness a few years ago, so I know how very special they are, truly wonderful souls, the heartbreak is so very hard. I'm so glad you've stopped drinking again. Hugs 🤗 x.

I started drinking again when I lost my dog. And then my youngest went off to college. I used alcohol to ease the sadness.
I got another dog, but was back to drinking again and didn’t really stop.
My mom is pretty Sick right now.
I've decided that drinking isn’t going to help me cope and I’ll miss out on really being with her (having the presence of mind). I wouldn’t forgive myself for that.
Alcohol doesn’t take away sorrow Or painful memories like you wish it would

Thank you everyone for your kind words and inspiration. Drinking just intensified the loss.
He was so beautiful and so young. He was on meds for the seizures, so I never imagined him dying from epilepsy. One night we were outside playing and he started having seizures and they never stopped, he died on the way to the Vet. It was horrible. I wish I knew how to attach a picture of him to share. I miss him so much.
I'm going to keep checking in, you are all so inspiring. 💜
