Drinking and drugging it gone.....
Drinking and drugging it gone.....
Many of us who have struggled with addiction have a story that includes emotions, situations, circumstances, thoughts and memories we tried to blot out, destroy, drink and drug away.
But how many of us have a story of succeeding at making any of it actually go away by drinking and drugging?
In my own story, efforts to drink and drug away the feelings and the circumstances only ever led to the feelings and the circumstances becoming magnified or getting intensely worse.
It probably seems pretty simple and obvious - but I also think it's worth a good hard look at.
Is there even a SINGLE example in the history of addiction where drinking and drugging made it 'go away'?

Ive heard ppl say a brief respite but it isnt its a trap under leaves with a hole to get out of
i havnt relapsed but ive seen many who have & some even died (thats a hole no one gets out of)
Point im making is its not a respite there is no joy that is a myth that is woken up sharply with reality
Exellent post FreeOwl (its raining heavily where i am proper non stop lashing rain)

Totally agree. Phrases NEVER said:
"Things got better when I started drinking again"
"My life improved once I began using drugs again"
"Today I pay my rent on time, thanks to my alcohol abuse"
"I've never been as healthy as I am now, thanks to drugs"
The list goes on and on. Things only get worse when you add drugs and alcohol. Every. Single. Time.
