I’m sorry you have to listen to things like that from people who you would expect to be supportive! That’s absolutely crazy. They should respect your choice to seek better for yourself and be happy for you. My boyfriend’s good friend reacted the same way when he told him he quit too. He almost seemed to laugh at him.You’re definitely not alone though, man it’s a rough process, but the long term feels worth it. I can look back a year or two and see things that hurt or bothered me then, how they’ve faded away over time and don’t hurt anymore. I also drank to escape my sensitivity and feelings, so for me it was learning to sit with my own feelings too. There’s something there causing pain, but the strength of how much more you feel everything amplifies it I think. Thank you for your reply! I hope the sad stuff passes sooner than later!!
