You like humor if memory serves...? ☺️

I've felt that way of late as well. I found this and thought it rather fitting in the last few weeks. I steal away me time when I can and need to. When I can't I take deep breathes, meditate briefly, go to bed early, take a walk, or just ignore things momentarily.
((Hugs)) to you.

I don't think it's against any law to want that, or to feel like you want those things. But I doubt, or hope, you don't actually want to see all those things go away. I've wanted similarly from time to time, though I soon realize I'd rather those things not actually disappear, but some how get better and make me happier.
And when I see that maybe there are things I can do to help that improvement along that I find that a lot of the unhappiness or frustration I feel is really coming from me and not the other way around.
I'll get frustrated with work for example and start entertaining the idea that leaving would be the best thing, solve all my issues. Hanging around here too much has complicated things though. Seems a more proactive positive attitude stance thingy tends to leech in, so I started thinking of little things I could do to make the situation better , instead of waiting for those things to change and affect me better. It's corny and hokey, but even just doing one thing , a little thing once a day in each area can build up and damned if my attitude doesn't get just a little better too.

If you feel at your wits end with how life is, I agree rehab would be a safe and healthy place for you to go with lots of understanding and support.
There is always hope... in the meantime can you call AA, a member or a sponsor? Or maybe get to a meeting?
There is always hope
hang in there ok?

I hope you are OK lightening bug.
My initial interpretation was more of a vacation than rehab. I try to keep up but thought you'd already been sober for at least a month.
Good thoughts your way. I hope all is well.
