Feeling depressed
I’m trying so hard to stop drinking but it’s just how I’ve learned to deal with life. I haven’t had a drink in 2 days now found out our rent is going up. I don’t dive so I just feel useless and like I’m taking up space . Only contribution to our house I make is taken care of the kids when they're not at school.

You should be proud of yourself fur not drinking in the two days.
It's not easy.
And it's not easy to be honest either.
But please don't be so hard on yourself, you are more than just what you contribute and looking after kids is no easy task 🩷
2 days is big. Definitely be proud of that.
One thing I learned in recovery recently is that after spending so long using alcohol to cope with these situations, I never developed the skills to do it without alcohol. This made it clearer for me. Its not that im not capable, its just that theres a muscle I need to develop. You can do this!
2 days is great. Especially in chaos around you.
I know exactly how you feel. It's hard being the only one who takes care of the kids and to also feel like a burden when you're jobless and unable to contribute to the household more.
