I'm right on the cusp of losing my family, job, and last but not least:

Next time I'll be doing inpatient or IOP.
Don't take them for granted
It can be hell when they are gone

Might be an excellent time for treatment

A lot of us have bad days and bad childhoods - neither is a deal breaker I promise

We do what we know best until we learn to use better ways, and put our trust in those ways.

what do you think is stopping you from finding/trying other ways to deal with things Justin?

Well according to my therapist, I don't express anger. Because of my childhood, I tend to cater to others needs. I bottle it up, compartmentalize, and get hammered at night to deal with stressors from that. It may sound nuts, but it's who I am.

I have been learning to be angry and express it in other ways instead of saying "it's ok" or whatever then drinking over it.

I threw rocks into a pond as hard as I could and lifted weights low rep high weight. It was incredible to be mad without feeling bad about it. I just need to do THAT instead of pick up.
