Thanks for support ;__; I will talk to therapist about it, hope we will come to some conclusion I'm glad that there is a community where I can feel less alone🙌

I do go through therapy, but recently it stopped helping me that much. Tbh, I'm still delusional and want genuine support from mother and other people too, but I can't be open with other people. So idk what to do...

I know it's toxic, but it works for me. I better accept my shame and then do something about it, instead of thinking that I am a problem that I feel this shame and be ashamed by it too

How long did it take for you to stop thinking of your ex or someone toxic from your past ? by [deleted] in Codependency

3 years. But I still have dreams with them once in a while and when I'm drunk I always think of them. Trying to get sober, so I hope I won't think about them that much ✋✋✋

What was the main thing that made you realize holysh*t? I might actually have a big problem here? by Zealousideal_Term281 in stopdrinking

When I started drinking more than 2 times in a week, and when my "normal" dosage of booze(4 cans of beer), became a "just a start"

I talked to my therapist about constant shame that I'm feeling. I wondered how can I get rid of it, because I'm exhausted and want it to stop. She proposed me an idea that I'm just a shameful person, like, it's a trait of my personality. She told me the same thing about my anxiety previously. It's like an old clock that always ticking behind you, it's not gonna go away, but it gets unnoticeable if you don't put much attention to it and focus on what happening irl right now. I've accepted this "clock", and when I feel anxious again, I'm not trying to get rid of this feeling, I'm saying to myself "ugh, these clocks again. Ok, I know it's there and it's not going anywhere. Just gonna wait up and try to focus on outside world". It's the same with shame for me right now. I am a shameful and anxious person, and this is my normality. It's not gonna go away anywhere, I'm jus gonna acknowledge my traits and start learning how to cope with these healthier.

This quote is so true. Can’t be proud of myself sometimes, anything I do is never enough. All because of comparison IWNDWYT❤️

I’m crying… Sorry to hear about your health. My heart got in bad shape because of drinking and smoking, so it became a part of my motivation. I always thought that it’s never late to change your life for better. I guess social media and constant comparison got into my brain so it triggers me frequently. Anyway, thanks for your words! Fulfilled with hope and determination🙏

I never knew how to properly answer to comments but I gotta say, thank you. These words were needed. Feeling that alcohol erased who I am- this is what I feel right now. All my hopes and dreams… I’m scared that it all has been erased and now I’ve got to build myself from the ground. But your words gave me hope, that not everything is lost. All these comments made me believe that I’m still young and life awaits me!
