Could use some kind words
 

I am hurting and scared.

Could just use some help so maybe I can rest tonight.

I just give up

Hi Dandelion,

Try following some mindfulness breathing. You can use you tube, or there are apps like Headspace and Calm. You can also try four x four breathing, breathe in for four, hold for four, out for four. I sometimes hold a second or two longer and breathe out slower.

Let go of whatever happened today, or prior to today to make you feel this way.

Make a list of things you are grateful for, read that before going to sleep. Tomorrow is a new day, and a chance to make new choices.

Sending virtual hugs your way.

❤️ Delilah

Thank you so much. I am just ...lost.

:hug: I hope we can help you feel 'found' and not lost. :hug:

Whatever is happening, you're not alone dandelion :)

Rest is as good as sleep so try not to stress. We can live on something ridiculous like 1 hour of sleep a night.

Hello, Dandelion. You aren't alone. You can make it through tonight, and the next, and the next. There is so much support here. Please keep posting; I wish you peace and comfort.

Thank you so much. Full of fear and havent slept in days.

I dont think I could make it without you all

Prayers and support DL....go SR surfing...there is so much info, personal stories, word games...I do that a lot...I know the feelings you have shared intimately. Those feelings suck, but YOU do not.

Prayers your way. We are all in this together be strong. ✌

I'm right there with you as far as feeling lost and not sleeping. One thing I remember my Mom always told me which is so true is that in the nighttime everything feels so much worse. It's important for me to remember and think about all of the ways that I'm not alone and where I can access support. As Dee said to me in an earlier thread "Don't give in to the despair". That is going to be my mantra now.

Thank you SC. Im at the point where I don5 mind dying, just cant be alone anymore.

Hi Dandylion, well we mind if you die or not, if you die there are a lot of people here who would be devastated. I read one of your other posts just now where you say you're too old to change! Well I beg to differ, I'm 10 years older than you and have 15 months sober on Saturday after drinking for the best part of 20 years, ( I was a late starter). I've been where you are now, it's not nice and it's not easy but you can do it, bloody hell if I can, you can. We're all on your side, we have your back. Big gentle hugs to you. Xx

Daisybelle thank you and God bless you for your kind words

And I meant every word Dandylion. You're important to us, you just need to believe in yourself and be kinder to yourself. Xxx

I hope you're feeling a little better knowing you're part of this community Dandelion. We really do care :)

There is life after addiction too. Its never too late to start on chapter 2 :)
