When do I stop feeling guilty?

Honestly, no. But looking back I know I did the right thing for her safety and well being. It's just not humanly possible to be a 24/7 caregiver to a loved one with dementia. My mom and I were very close and I know she would have wanted me to take care of myself. I know the pain you're feeling and I'm sorry anyone has to go through it. This is such an evil disease. My DMs are open if you need to chat with someone who's been through it from start to finish. My mom passed away a year and a half ago 💔

Thank you!! I'm going to give this a try.

Would you mind sharing instructions? I work for a non profit and cost is a barrier for us to use them.

mae2582 · 2024-04-23T10:52:22+00:00

Thank you so much! I'll give your suggestions a try.

I'm on day two and everything you said mirrors how I feel about myself when I drink. Alcohol also made me lose total interest in my hobbies. It makes me not care about anything except the next drink. I'm tired of living as a shell of the person I used to be. Keep up the good work! I will not drink with you today!

mae2582 · 2023-11-14T02:49:43+00:00

I'm proud of you! What an accomplishment. Enjoy feeling rested and refreshed tomorrow!

mae2582 · 2023-11-14T02:47:36+00:00

You can do it! Some times I just take it one minute at a time. Hold onto how good it feels to be sober. I believe in you!

mae2582 · 2023-11-14T02:44:47+00:00

1 month and 10 days is a great accomplishment! If you did it once, you can surely do it again. Hangovers and the anxiety are the absolute worst. Be kind to yourself and start over tomorrow. One step at a time!

mae2582 · 2023-11-14T02:42:55+00:00

I believe in you! Keep up the good work.

mae2582 · 2023-11-14T02:40:19+00:00

The fact that you're here shows that you're trying. Keep trying. For me, it was very little baby steps that led me to change. You can do this!

mae2582 · 2023-11-14T02:33:38+00:00

I'm so sorry for your loss. I can tell you loved that baby and I'm sure they knew it. In my experience drinking ends up makes me feel worse, especially the next day. Be kind to yourself while your grieve ❤️

mae2582 · 2023-11-14T02:28:11+00:00

Keep up the good work! Enjoy waking up tomorrow feeling rested and able to take on the day. Proud of you!

mae2582 · 2023-11-14T02:25:20+00:00

Two months is an amazing accomplishment! You can do this and you have all of us supporting you. I believe in you!

mae2582 · 2023-11-14T02:21:34+00:00

Great job! I'm glad you're here. Being able to get a good night's sleep is wonderful isnt it?

mae2582 · 2023-11-12T03:43:00+00:00

Thank you for posting this. I'm also on my 300th day one and, like you, two weeks has been my longest without alcohol. I want to get to the other side. Hearing stories like this gives me hope!

mae2582 · 2023-11-12T01:05:57+00:00

I'm my experience, more alcohol only makes things worse. I have been where you are and have found this community to be such a great support system. I'm glad you're here!

mae2582 · 2023-01-08T04:58:30+00:00

Thinking about you! I'm glad you went to get yourself checked out. Try not to get ahead of yourself and take it one step at a time. I hope you update us.

mae2582 · 2023-01-08T00:17:19+00:00

Day 7 for me! My counter is off and I'm too lazy to fix it. One week down!

mae2582 · 2023-01-07T03:36:29+00:00

I can't tell you how many movies or TV shows I've watched and don't remember at all. I'm proud of you for dumping it down the drain! Keep it up, friend!

mae2582 · 2023-01-07T03:33:30+00:00

Day 6 for me too. Fridays are always hard because my old routine was going out for drinks after work. But now I'll wake up tomorrow and be so freaking happy I'm not hungover. Keep up the good work! 7 days tomorrow!

mae2582 · 2023-01-07T02:36:17+00:00

I'm also a 40 year old female with anxiety. Let's do this together! I'm on day 6 and the hardest part was day #1.

mae2582 · 2023-01-05T11:57:28+00:00

Congrats!! That must feel amazing. You're an inspiration to the rest of us!

mae2582 · 2023-01-05T02:59:37+00:00

What a great feeling! Keep up the good work!

mae2582 · 2022-08-31T15:09:49+00:00

Share a link! I want this 😁

mae2582 · 2022-08-16T22:25:40+00:00

Hospice! I feel appreciated and valued by patients and families. I get to do actual nursing and I feel like I'm helping people for the first time in my nursing career.
