someday

I can't explain it.
I am so sad I want to give myself a reason to drink

I won't
but I am sad that I want to fix my life by drinking it away
I have not
but that isi all I want to do

Talk to us someday. What makes you sad? Loneliness? Depression? The news? The weather? Just missing alcohol?

Can you get outside for some exercise? Some sunshine? Meet with some friends that don't drink? Find a distraction?

Stay here and talk to us someday.
Every day sober is one step closer to feeling good again

How many days sober are you? Could be withdrawal or PAWS

Its okay to be sad.
No one wants to be sad but it is okay.
I allow myself those days. The emotional days are fewer now that I have a solid stretch of sobriety. I promise that it does get better if you hold on and keep going. You will not always feel this way.

It will get better. You will not always feel this way.

I hope you’re doing okay someday remember it’s way better to go
and see a doctor for help with depression that to try
and self medicate with alcohol.

Hi Someday, I hear ya. I have those days too and sometimes even weeks of sadness. It's so good that you posted on here. Do you know what is making you sad? I hope you feel better. Keep posting if you are struggling. I find it really does help. I hope you feel better.

Awwww honey. Big hugs for you. I was so sad when I quit drinking. I made a blanket fort under my dining table and stayed there for days. I cried in bed and didn't get up for days. We have a lot to process when we stop drinking because the alchol/drugs/whatever numbs our feelings. So when we take the substance away, our feelings come back. It's actually a good thing, but painful. Like getting pins and needles after sitting on your foot for too long or some such. Or a leg cramp. It will pass. Just be gentle with yourself.

Sad days are perfectly normal and do pass. The natural balance of life and the universe is one of a wave form: peaks, troughs and the inclines down and up. The trick is to seek help if you cannot get any rest bite from the sadness or it is putting other aspects of your life at risk e.g- sobriety. Acceptance is one of the key answers to my peace of mind and that applies to acceptance of sadness sometimes. However i had to seek ‘outside’ interventions from medical professionals to help get my balance. Working a daily recovery program really helps keep my mood stable too.

Sad is relative. For you it sounds like depression which is not something you can shake off, for others they can say that sadness will be cured by a good nights sleep. They are worlds apart, those forms of sadness as much as the heavy drinker tells the alcoholic its no big deal as you will stop drinking one day.

How are things someday?

Someday, I hope you check in and let us know how you're doing. I do understand how sadness can feel overwhelming. You will be able to come up with healthy ways that will help to relieve your sadness. I can promise you from my experience, that drinking will appear to be a quick-fix but ultimately you will end up sadder.
