I’m booze free but I’m not sober. I’m still doing things to run from the past and stuff down the pain. It seems to me that until the things that are unresolved remain that way, addiction merely shifts and I’m just as susceptible to succumbing today as I’ve ever been.

I was warned that 5-6 months after quitting drinking many people hit a wall. When you quit relying on something so heavily and regularly to get you through and you actually have to start to process all the shit you’ve been through and get reacquainted with yourself, it can be really hard and really dark.

I’m seeing exactly that.

We have no idea what we’re actually all going through. The learning I’ve gone through about how childhood chaos and trauma - that we don’t even know is still there - how much it is impacting us at a subconscious level is staggering.

This has been a painful process but I have no choice. We have no choice. It’s either this or death - in one form or another.

If you’re struggling with booze and you’ve found any of my content helpful, I just sat down and did a video for my 180 days booze free. It’s on my YouTube (link in bio)

As always, your comments and messages and feedback on how any of this is helping is my fuel so please don’t be shy. If it’s helped you or means something please say so 💜
