Tackling underlying issues

Now that my trigger person is gone, I have no desire to drink. I can focus on my health, myself and be hopeful for the future.

But the fact that I had to drink to even be able to break up with him is very telling. I’m aware that life is life and there will always be problems, triggers and so on.

I’m trying to find a therapist and the process is making me feel a bit anxious and scared, but I know that if I want to tackle my problems and be healthy for good I need to address my underlying emotional issues and to learn new healthy coping mechanisms 💗
