Feeling like a failure
 
Ugh why is it I'm so quick to feel like crap, treat myself like crap and let others take me for granted. I feel like a failure and am giving up on trying to give up pot. I just don't think I can without turning to alcohol.

Day 2 sober and I've had a cone each day. I'm hanging for a drink due to **** hitting the fan resulting in a big blowup between my brother and me. Now I feel isolated in my own house and just want to get blind drunk and not care at all about anything.

2 Days Sober is in no way a failure!! :)

Having a drink, I guarentee will make you feel even worse, is there anything you can do to keep you occupied, maybe go for a long walk in the fresh air to clear the your head?

Keep pushing through!! :)

Let it pass and blow over. Things generally do. You might enjoy those first few mouthfuls but will likelyfeel awful afterwards, Stay strong xxxxxxx

It doesn't sound like the best environment to get or stay sober DF.
Maybe it's time for your houseguests to look for alternative accomodation?

You are not a failure. Far from it. You're trying and that's what counts.

Thanks for the support guys, felt completely out of control emotionally last night so decided to climb into bed at 730pm and read posts until I fell asleep. Restless night and woke up foggy from being stoned but at least I'm not hungover. And the thought of drinking today is far far away.
