Hello everyone,


I am an alcoholic and tried to harm myself. I am in recovery and rehab but it is so *** hard. Dont know what to feel in this moment. Using my medicine regularly but i feel like they dont help a bit.

I used to tell lies to my family and my coworkers about my drinking problem. I even showed up drunk to work a couple of times. My family and coworkers are really helpfull about my rehab and they forgive all my lies. I think i need to feel blessed but all i want is keep drinking. Any advices?

@Brautousoruz My point is, it’s hard because you still see feeling good and escaping your problems as more desirable than avoiding the damage you are causing yourself and others. It’s a habit you have relied on for a long time so of course you want to return to that habit. Of course it is hard. It will be hard for about 30 days and then it will be less hard. 


My tip is, don’t blame yourself for missing your escape. But also be really clear with yourself. You caused a lot of damage and (I assume) you don’t want to keep doing that. Don’t drink and stay in rehab.  Follow the advice of your rehab counselors and maybe you’ll learn how to not make it harder.
