Good eveningÂ
Tonight I am struggling. I mean really struggling. I am going through a very stressful experience over the last few weeks. I have given up on sheer willpower and want of a better life. I dont want to go back. I really dont. I am on day 157 and I haven't really had many cravings. I mean ive been able to occupy my time effectively. Ive cried, literally sobbed knowing I cant have my usual escape outlet tonight ITs hard having to face these uncomfortable feelings head on and thats why im struggling so bad I guess. They weren't kidding when they said its the hardest addiction to break!Â
Not here to brag, not here for sympathy just needing to vent and advice for when this little monster sneaks up behind you, like a nightmare you cant wake up from.
Much love to everyone on their journey. Buckle up and hold on! Its a hell of a ride.Â
