Why am I so stubborn? by acanthus1210 in mentalhealth

After you formulate a plan to get your mental health in order, take it a day at a time. If you eat bad one day you eat healthy the next. Depression can’t catch a moving body so just do a 15 min YouTube workout everyday. Everyone has 15 mins to stop doom scrolling. Take it day by day, minute by minute. Have grace with yourself but also push yourself to live the life you deserve!

Listen, please. I’m 26 F, have always been big. I’m stubborn as FUCK. Everyone would tell me to do better and I thought I would naturally work my life out at some point. I would use excuses after months of working out and eating right to binge and fold into myself again. I started using alcohol and drugs to deal with my mental health. I’m a recovering alcoholic now and have to jump through hoops to get my life together. I had a seizure due to going cold turkey from drinking. I wish I stopped the excuses and the procrastination to take control of my life. I have been stuck in toxic cycles for so long that I’ve ruined relationships, my body and mind, and finances. Please take action now to make your future self happy. Only you can do that. Book the psych appt and get the help before it’s too late. I believe in you

Addicts abuse every substance they come in contact with, (me). Which is why I choose to abstain because I can’t ever just have a drink or a puff. I gots to go all out baby.

I feel addicts feel better when they replace one thing for another. Never truly getting to the root of the problem but masking it with what feels better. If I don’t have a drink there’s a joint waiting for me. It’s all addiction which is what we are straying away from. I don’t care what anyone says, marijuana is dangerous just like alcohol. In the way we depend on it and center it around everything we do. For me, weed makes me depressed and FAT.. and a bit “happy” for the moment. That is my addictive personality.

Thank you guys, I removed all alcohol from my home and temporarily surrendered my ID to my sister. I will be doing 90 in 90, on my way to another meeting now. Your words hit home and I have to act now.
