...See more I just found this app not to long ago. I really didn’t have high hopes that it would help in any way. As I read other people’s stories it gives me a weird comfort that I’m not alone. No matter what our story is there are millions of people feeling the same thing as me. Millions of people looking for answers and support like me. some days I just feel so defeated. I feel alone, ashamed, guilt for the things I’ve allowed to happen in my life. I come here and i see people struggling with the same emotions I am. It really gives me a place to belong. A place where i know I’m not alone. A place where i feel I won’t be judged or made to feel ashamed for having these thoughts or feelings. Even if no one reads my threads it still allows me a way to get my pain and my thoughts out. I feel a lot of us are searching for an outlet. I feel this place allows us to do that. i know I will continue reading stories and reaching out to those who write. Don’t be afraid to say what’s on your mind. Sometimes we need to get it out and reread what we wrote to come to terms with what we are feeling and thinking. Taking it a day at a time 🙂

...See more Recently it was brought to my attention I may have a Drinking problem. i don't drink during the week, but on weekends I do drink heavily. I do think there are times i start drinking and I have a hard time stopping. i have never lost a job due to it, I always get up to take care of my responsibilities, I don’t keep buying booze till I’m broke, but there are times I can be confrontation when I drink. i find drinking helps me relax from the craziness of my life. It can lead to some fights with my live loved ones. I believe there is where the problem is. i do drink on weekends, but there are times I can go weeks without drinking then bam every weekend. Then I stop again. so idk? Do I have a problem? Do I not want to recognize I have a problem? What are the warning signs? if I do, what do I do now?
Becoming aware 😢

...See more I was just recently told “I need help” and that I have a “serious drinking problem”. I started to question if maybe I do. He said I became aggressive, but what I recall I don’t believe I did. None the less, my memory is foggy and not all I can remember clearly. After saying that, maybe I do have a problem I haven’t been wanting to recognize and accept. I just wished he would have been better with his approach when he said that to me. At the moment I’m feeling a lot of emotions that I can’t quiet figure out. Most of all I feel ashamed and lonely. My life has taken an unexpected turn and I’m faced with difficulties I didn’t think I’d be dealing with at this point in life. He was someone I thought I could trust and ultimately that’s not the case. I told him I was sorry that I didn’t mean to hurt him. This had been the first time something like that has ever happened. The way he treated me after is what I’m having a hard time with. This is someone I’ve known for years and he treated me like someone he had just met. I will take accountability for my “episode”. I did over do it and perhaps I got physical with him. I am currently looking for help to stop drinking, but I’m mostly hurt the way he treated me after. I keep telling myself that I need to find a positive out of this terrible action. Im confronting my drinking problem, I apologized to him, but it wasn't enough for him. It does hurt because this was someone I really cared about and he treated me like a nobody. I wasn’t given a chance to make it right. He made me feel broken, crazy, ashamed, dirty, and empty. 😢. I do feel terrible about having hurt him but how can I try to fix something I wasn’t given a chance to fix? thanks for listening. Maybe I just needed to finally say it to be able to move forward with my life. Im striving to make my life better and healthier.
