You are not a waste of oxygen.
You are a person, you are valuable, you matter.

Your not a waste of anything you've just someone whose making a few extra steps backwards in their journey. It doesn't mean you won't get to where you want to be in the end. Just will take a few more difficult steps than maybe others need to.

How are you feeling? What do you think about when you are drunk?

Incredulousaboutlife · 15/08/2026 19:29

It's so difficult OP isn't it? This alcohol thing.

After a couple of years not drinking I'm back to drinking a bottle of wine a week. It sounds so civilised. But it's a total struggle to keep it to one bottle a week. And alcohol occupies a lot of my waking thoughts again. Wheras when I was TT I n got to the point of rarely thinking about it.

You are not a waste of oxygen. You are struggling like so many other people. You will find your strength to get to a better place.

Hang in there. Keep sipping the water. We always know that drink is just kicking the can down the road. Sleep if you can, drink water and try and eat something little if you can. Small steps today

@Simplepink kicking the can down the road is the exact phrase my husband uses. But the withdrawals are horrible. 😞
