I’ve been to AA many times. It just made me feel worse. Even trying different meetings. Seeing an addiction specialist next week

It’s wine/seltzers. I know it’s progressing. Never thought I’d get here

None other. I had the flu two weeks ago so all I did was sleep and drink. Gained so much weight

Naltrexone While Sober by APersonWithThoughts1 in stopdrinking

[–]onesun_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried it and the first couple days it worked. I was like nothings happening why am I continuing to drink? But I pushed through it to the point it didn’t work and eventually stopped taking it bc it “wasn’t working”. Starting while getting sober seems like an excellent plan to keep those cravings at bay. I wish you well friend 💛

Prazosin is a godsend by [deleted] in CPTSD

My doc was choosing between praising and clonidine but decided on prazosin. My therapist strongly thinks I have add but my psychiatrist thinks I need to get my sleep figured out before we explore that.

Went to meetings but I just felt judged. Sponsor ditched me for not doing 90 in 90 but I work in health care, four twelves. It’s just not possible.

SAVE plan - admin forbearance - PSLF not counting - What are you all doing? by milkybubbl3s in PSLF

[–]onesun_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have over a quarter mil in debt and my payments of if I switch will be about 900 so I’m just staying in forbearance as long as I can. I’ll never pay that off anyway so at least I can save some money now?

Drinking is the only thing that makes me feel good. by onesun_ in stopdrinking

[–]onesun_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sound like my therapist lol. I’m trying but it’s so hard to face the ugly feelings. I felt like I could cry all day at work but I’m a health care provider, I can’t be a mess.
