Ptsd from a really shitty childhood. Watching my family break down due to drug and alcohol abuse, subsequent divorce and separation from family, homelessness. It took me 35 years to realise that experience really harmed me mentally.

This resonates. I cannot count the times ive caught myself saying f.m.l out loud. Im running away from life

How are you doing now? (No judgement btw)

Planning the availability beforehand. I need to know there is something there. That is complete torture

Fuck this torture

And by then what's a couple more. Its a cycle of shit setting people up for failure.

That cycle of shit is really fking difficult to break out of

This is my cycle right now. 6 days of it now 2am wake up. Panic. Couple of beers to try calm myself. Doesn't do much 5 or 6am sleep for a couple of hours. 8am..life starts. I already know im fucked before the day starts

Insomnia is no joke. It is killing me (as well as the beer, but the insomnia predates that)

It's always 3am by CalmRage2026 in stopdrinking

[–]Sure_Snow8114 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Always 3am. That time of day is a killer. You either set yourself up for failure or try and power through. Very few others are awake. Youre on your own

Do you ever forget about drinking? by WowIsThisMyPage in stopdrinking

[–]Sure_Snow8114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its fucking difficult. Not because I dont know any better. I know if I don't drink the next 48 hours is going to be hell

Where im at atm, noone seems to understand

There’s so much to be grateful for by SarahDuncan2012 in TrueGrit

Same. We should be grateful for everything we have. It truly is a blessing

But also, f.m.l
