How do I get my life back on track again?
I’m a 40 year old person and i’m so frustrated with my life. I dont do much the whole day because i dont see any point in doing things. I got addicted to alcohol to escape my issues and now i dont know how to stop. Its not that i drink all the time but in every social gathering once i start drinking i cannot stop untill i black out. Usually the next day i realise that i have created a big scene in my drunk state. I feel so embarrassed about this behaviour of mine. Its a non stop cycle. I drink and create a scene and i feel embarrassed and stop for a while but it happens again. I have lost a lot of friends because of this. People avoid me and dont invite me over anymore. I do want to stop but i just cannot.
Well you took an important step in acknowledging it. Good friends won’t always stay for everything but a true friend will care enough to help you. A lot probably don’t want the hassle or burden of trying to help you when they have their own issues to deal with so let me encourage to surround yourself with those you know wont leave you and get their help. Stop going to places where alcohol is available and get rid of it in the house if its around.
Thank you so much. I never though of it this way. You are right i need to surround myself with people who will be there for me and help me get through this. The current people in my life just look at me like i’m a mess and dont want to bother at all. Thank you for sharing this perspective 🌺
Any time!
