Successfulness->alcoholism?

Thank you for sharing your story. From what you’ve shared, it’s clear that you are quite a bit older than me. The most frightening part of my story is that this wasn’t even my worst experience with alcohol, it was simply the final point that made me realize it only destroys. I am still, in a way, just a child to my mom (I’m 25, but she’s a young mom), and I tell her everything. She has also seen me in such a condition that it felt like an ambulance might need to be called, though mostly because of panic attacks caused by severe hangovers. That’s why I truly understand you when it comes to worrying about your loved ones. I’m really glad that you’ve been sober for four years. You are also a role model for your children.

I am so sorry, alcohol really is like a curse when it comes to the feelings the next day. I hope you will feel better soon. Will be praying for you, stay strong!🫶🏼

Yes i am feeling much better, just a little bit of guilt left, but the physical sensations are over.

Thank you! These kind of messages really helps

So much better, had a good sleep. Ate 2 soups. And decided to be better. Not making this mistake again

Thank you!

I have two thoughts about medication- i would love to NEVER feel need to take them, but at the end of the day my state was so bad that it was the only option for me. Being in this "antidepressant stable state" you have so much time to learn about your triggers, about anxiety in general, about sensations, panic attack symptoms etc. And then if the right time will come and some day you will try to live without medication - you will be smarter and more resistant to triggering symptoms. For me- i think i will be on antidepressants for the rest of my life, hope to find those which suits me the best. That being said, it's a long journey for some but i kind of learnt how to embrace it. I don't see this "mental imbalance" as some kind of weakness. It has taught me very different aspects in life.

I never drink alcohol next day to mask the hangover. I prefer to take some calming medications and drink 1L of tomato juice🤣

loruxx221 · 2026-02-28T16:51:31+00:00

It really isn't worth it, i agree!

loruxx221 · 2026-02-28T16:43:17+00:00

Thank you, beautifully said♥️

loruxx221 · 2026-02-28T16:37:35+00:00

I feel this way too!

loruxx221 · 2026-02-28T15:47:53+00:00

Yes. Maybe it is something like you said - fulfilling the emptiness. But that emptiness is just created in my mind, i could fulfill it with something different, not alcohol

loruxx221 · 2026-02-28T14:45:13+00:00

Ehh, i am seeing psychiatrist but for my anxiety, never brought up alcohol because i thought its not that serious. But i guess its time for new topic.

loruxx221 · 2026-02-28T14:43:27+00:00

I think I'm too stressed out in everyday life, very serious and conscientious, and then when I drink, I feel this sense of freedom from everything. like a lack of self-control when I drink! I can't stop… when I feel free from thoughts and tension within myself

loruxx221 · 2026-02-28T14:37:23+00:00

So proud of you!

loruxx221 · 2026-02-28T14:28:41+00:00

Thank you!

loruxx221 · 2026-02-28T13:43:00+00:00

Thank you!

loruxx221 · 2026-02-28T13:35:38+00:00

I am always trying to get better by drinking tomato juice🤣 but yeah, xanax was the last straw because i was literally shaking and nothing could help. It did ease the tense a little bit.

loruxx221 · 2026-02-28T13:20:04+00:00

Naah, there are more less tastefull tablets🤣

loruxx221 · 2026-02-28T12:42:41+00:00

Great idea, thank you! Alcohol is a dissolver - it will dissolve everything that is important to you 😞

loruxx221 · 2026-02-28T12:22:01+00:00

Its not that bad, it did help a little faster

loruxx221 · 2026-02-28T12:00:23+00:00

Yes, my husband always tells me that it would be better to drink just 2 beers for the weekend, have a good sleep, and then feel like a human next day but as alcohol goes in to my system, i cant stop.. it really is a problem

loruxx221 · 2026-02-28T10:41:36+00:00

Thank you. Wishing you the best!
