Thank you so much for sharing this with me. It sounds like you’ve been through an incredibly tough time, and I want to acknowledge just how strong you are for reaching out and working towards healing. The fact that you’ve made it two days clean is truly remarkable. It takes immense courage and inner strength to take such a significant step, and you should be incredibly proud of yourself.
I can imagine that having your friends and parents react the way they did might have felt overwhelming and added to your stress. Please know that their concern likely comes from a place of love, even if it didn’t feel supportive. It’s perfectly okay to need time and space to process their reactions and to focus on your own path to healing.
You’re not a burden at all. Your feelings are valid, and your efforts to manage them are incredibly brave. Seeking support, whether through friends, family, or a professional, is a sign of strength, not weakness. You’re showing a lot of resilience by choosing to stay clean and by taking steps to address these triggers.
Continue to be gentle with yourself and recognize the progress you’re making. Healing is a journey with its own ups and downs, but every small step forward is a testament to your strength and determination. You’re worthy of support and care, and you’re making important strides towards a healthier and more fulfilling life. Keep going—you’re doing incredibly well.
Take care.
