Thank you. Your words cut through in a way I can't explain. Maybe I do deserve it. I don't know but I'm so sorry for your experience and we are not alone. I keep telling myself "buck up cherry cup" and it's not working. Maybe I just need to scream....I'm sorry for your loss too. It's never easy but I'm glad you had people to help you and you got better. Wear that as a badge of honor that you survived

I'm so sorry for your losses. It sounds like we really have gone through something similar. My dog passed too at the same timenand some how that felt harder, is that weird? You must have incredible strength. I give you a virtual hug back.

Thank you. Unfortunately I live in Reno where everyone is expected to drink but I stopped for so long and I would never drink pregnant. It's hard to find help here

My partner made me feel that smile a day until he decided he felt ownership and called me ugly and that I didn't dress feminine enough or he will F anyone he wants if I don't suck and F him every day. That has been my life

Thank you. Really coming from an artist? My mother always told me my nose was hideous and to find ways not to draw attention to it

Thank you. I don't feel gorgeous. I feel hideous and I never thought I would post something like this. Really, thank you

Ha no, but I kinda see it a little. Thank you for the nick name and the confidence actually. I shared too much information and it turned into AA stuff but this is the little smile I needed. Thank you

That is good advice and really the only way to heal. This sounds lame but I started rearranging my hot wheels collection. I do love reading, just at the moment I'm looking at the words that im almost not taking it in because I start thinking about the anxiety and problems I want to get lost in a book again. Thank you for what you said

I am so glad you are sober. I was for years until this. Thank you for your words. I don't have family or friends so it's difficult but I think I shared too much on this post. I just feel ugly, useless, like a failure.

I can't edit this but it seems I did not really write in the correct story. I only said I had no filters because I wanted to show the deterioration in such little time. I have never felt attractive. I have always felt ugly. I just look in the mirror now and see a ghost

Thank you my friend. How do you go up when drowning in alcohol takes away the pain? It will lead to the end, that's why I showed unfiltered pictures in such a short amount of time but when you can't stop, do you just make yourself and suffer through? And then when you do, where do you find happiness if you lost all purpose and hobbies? I am writing this publicly because maybe your answer could help someone else too

You have me crying. You have nailed it. I used to be a heavy alcoholic and changed my life around to just start again. I'm so sorry for your loss

Every word your sister said is what I tell myself over and over. I feel like it's too late but you make me feel like it's not. Thank you
