Unexpected detours(Grief) and sobriety
Staying sober during unexpected events are the most challenging for me. I lost my mother three weeks ago unexpected.. It has woken the cravings of wanting to float and numb all my pain. Refraining and retraining my mind during such sadness is an extra challenge. Mindfulness, 🎶, and giving myself space ... is what I'm doing for now. What helps you when you are ready to sink ?

@wonderfulKermit1936 I am so sorry for your loss. It's very understandable to want to reach for something, anything that might help in the moment but I'm so glad that you're being so strong, we are all here for you and with you.
I take myself away when I feel like sinking. New places, new people to talk to and not having to feel the emptiness of the space that once was my normal. Don't hesitate to reach out for support and talk when it feels too much. Focus on small things, add new distractions till your heart feels a bit at ease, go out for walks if that helps. Remember that it is going to be hard, no quick fixes for grief so it's okay to feel it all or not at all. With time you will find your footing till then hold on to yourself, let your loved ones hold on to you. Keeping you in my thoughts<3
