These alcohol withdrawals get scarier with time .. and age ..

I used to be obsessed with 9/11 growing up .. now when I close my eyes .. airplanes crash into my apartment .. monsters crawl through my windows .. and as cognitive as I am and tell myself these things aren’t real .. going through withdrawals and detoxing.. these things are as real as they come .. 🎶stand by me! 🎶

One quote that has truly helped me when I am overthinking, w/racing thoughts or anxiety, is 'Nothing is true.' -Byron Katie. It instantly melts away my magnified mind. I am sorry you are going through that.. I am sure it is frustrating, frightening, and difficult. Know those thoughts and ideas are NOT truth.
It is the mind trying to scare itself. Becoming sober is an Amazing triumph, so just take it day by day and You got this 🌸🍀🪻
