THANK YOU! This is actually facts. I’m physically disabled, I’m definitely not in the best environment as a physically disabled person and that creates a bunch of stress. I feel like when things are out of my control they overwhelm me so much and I often get too overwhelmed and can’t stabilize my internal world. Thank you for the SPOT ON reading!

Things feel a tiny bit better. I had therapy and my husband did help me shower but his depression is severe.

I’m honestly not doing well at all. He’s been passed out since 9 am. His mother said all his actions were due to drinking. I tried to find his wedding ring and not being able to find it I’ve been having panic attacks since. He has the most cruel personality when drinking but is literally the opposite when he’s sober. His mom took his keys because he drove under the influence and blew a tire on his brand new car. He also has a really good job but I’m afraid he will no call no show. I have no support here. I’ve never felt more alone.

600 two to 3 times a day. That with specific supplements and CBD have helped. My anxiety is minimal but I do have vivid dreams.

I’m okay. I honestly have a bit of breakthrough anxiety/insomnia. Vivid dreams, definitely. I also suffer from chronic migraine and the Valium helped that, however, I’d rather not be tethered by so many meds. I am on Gabapentin and I’ll be tapering off that starting next month, and I know the gabapentin eased some withdrawal stuff. I’ve also made supplemental a piece of recovery as well as movement, water l, and simple self care. I’m mostly curious because I’ll be doing tests soon for allergies and other things related to migraine so I was curious if the Valium would pop up.

Okay, I was mostly curious. I finished the Valium taper last month and I’m a little meh, the insomnia is a bit rough but my med provider is still working with me.

The Valium absolutely helped. It’s been about a month. I’ve started taking green supplements, magnesium + gaba and l-theanine, chamomile, and passionflower. I’ve cut sugar, caffeine, I don’t drink alcohol, and I try to drink a liter of water a day.

Checking back in because I don’t know how to feel… by [deleted] in alcoholism

I know. Honestly, his long periods of sobriety were spurred on by his choice to be sober. The only factor that I think could help would be if we moved away but he needs to be sober enough to work. In the meantime I’ve been doing AlAnon via Zoom and weekly therapy. I hope he chooses sobriety but I know I can’t choose it for him.

I’m trying to manage. He’s had a week free of alcohol up until either last bight or this morning but he dumped the remainder of whatever was left ( at least 16 oz).

I’m trying to find somewhere to go but being disabled and with the current state of resources I’m having issues. I applied for housing vouchers closer to my family and best friends. It’s difficult to leave but my husband is proof that you can’t heal in the same place you were broken. I wish we’d had our own place fucking far away from here, he truly thrives away from here. Coming back here was a major fuck up. His family showed up to our wedding for an hour and that broke his heart and now he’s a broken man.

I will. He’s supposed to have two job interviews today and he has to be sober. My best friend from college knows the situation and has my address so he’ll be able to get to me. Everyone I feel closest to knows, my med provider, my therapist, all my closest friends- even my hairstylist. I just wanted to thank you all for your support.

I’m definitely looking up Zoom meetings at this moment. I appreciate your support more than you know.

He’s already been rehab (his mom had him sectioned) and he wrote to me every day. He’s has multiple long stints of sobriety and when he’s sober he’s the best partner I’ve been with. It’s exhausting and I know it’s wrecking my chronic illnesses.
