I Am An Alcoholic

Being an alcoholic is the hardest most complicated life you could possibly imagine. Understanding it and trying to explain it to others not affected is even worse. I have done unspeakable things, made a fool of myself, hurt the people I love , lived through excruciating pain....the worst part of all is it was all self inflicted. I was the worst case senerio. I was physically addicted. If I didn't drink I would have violent withdrawals which included shaking uncontrollably, my skin burning like it was on fire. Unable to sleep. My joints throbbed with a ache so bad. I would sweat and get rashes. On top of that I would get vilently ill. I puked every single day. Everyday was a nightmare. If you are in a bad place.. message me ❤️

I would hide booze everywhere. In my drawers, my car, take it in my purse to work. Sickening

I am completely better.i have to tell my stories to reach the worst of the worst so i can offer my help@SW-User

@Thegodchick But no self compassion won't help you or anyone else long term. Addicts as you'll know constantly beat themselves up

do you have an addiction issue?@SW-User

@Thegodchick No, although issues as a consequence of my parents' alcoholism.

@Thegodchick I wouldn't have wanted my mother to beat herself up but she did of course. Both have died now. My mother did become sober but my father died before doing so. It's clearly a terrible struggle and that's why I say be kind to yourself
