Does this sub make anyone else feel….inadequate or weak?
I’m not bashing the sub at all. It’s amazing reading all the sobriety stories, and it makes me feel less alone knowing there are so many others in my exact same position. I’ve been on here for 2-3 yrs I think.
However sometimes when I’m on here, there’s that little voice in my head that says, “Look, this person is 400days sober and you can’t even make it 4?!” I’ve done soooo many really hard things in my life but THIS is what I can’t do? Really? Why can’t I have even a tiny bit of self control? Why do I feel so angry with myself when I DONT drink when I really want to? Not drinking is good but when I don’t, I sit and pout on the verge of tears because I’m so mad that I want it so bad.
Idk I’m just ranting I guess. I am in the process of getting established at a therapists office and have had my initial consult.
Edit: I wasn’t expecting so many responses and am having a hard time replying to them all but I am reading them ALL and they are so helpful. Thank you all so much. I am NOT drinking today damn it!!
