I buy stuff, take a bath, put headphones on listen to music and cry or drink alchohol and then hate myself.

@Strongtea I used to use alcohol too. I hope you can find some peace. You're making progress and very self aware. That is commendable. Don't beat yourself up and forgive yourself. It's a new day. A new dawn. A new beginning ✨ 🙂

Hey, thankyou! I do find it a bit hard to think about the way I used to be and I’m using alchohol to cope a little bit, but I do have a super good community at church so I do know I’ll be ok. Your words make me want to do better. Thanks again. @PromiseProtectionProvision

@Strongtea You were a kid and more than likely had no idea what you were doing. We have ALL been there. You are a human and humans are perfectly imperfect. If ya ever have questions or would like my imput I would be more than happy to give you some pointers on what has and hasn't worked for me. Don't hesitate to shoot me a message. I might take awhile to respond, but don't stress it. You got this.
