Why don't you put that extra money in a savings account to save up for rehab (that you say you can't afford). Every single payday. Give it to someone trusted that will manage it for you.

Hi Sweetie,

So glad you're back. I fixed your quote for you.

Honestly, watch the self-talk. You don't drink. You don't use your money for alcohol. You use it to buy food and take care of yourself. Why not do everything you can to combat this beast? Even little things like how you talk to yourself and about your situation can add up.

Really wishing you well. I want to see you stay sober and get past this. Stopping and starting is draining. Long term sobriety is so much better. I know you can do it !

Sweeti, I wouldn't wish the feeling of waking up needing to drink on my worst enemy. Being trapped in that relentless cycle is pure pain and misery and physically and mentally you get worse and worse. It really does get better if you fight through the first couple of days.
