Reading posts and replying to each other really can help when your in a deep state. I myself I'm episodic. intense anxiety and depersonalization. De realization. Physical symptoms. Drinking brought on by past trauma. Missing work. I've been better before, need a little extra help this time I think. I used a lot of different things and drank a lot in the past and going to events. I'm trying so stop that life cause I know it's not healthy especially someone suffering

I've been sober for more than two decades and suspect that the reason for my alcohol and drug use was an attempt do deal with the issues that I'm now, finally, really dealing with. Thanks for sharing with us.

That's my main focus right now is sobriety, just when I drink even a few beers I'm my old funny self and feel no anxiety but I have no control and will drink for days. I read some of your posts and think I can resignate. I always kind of suffered but got it really bad when my dad past away, mom was never there she was a major addict she made her choice. But I used partying to suffocate that I didn't want to deal with it. Have started counselling see how far that can take me

In my current therapy we're working on sitting with discomfort. Turns out, this is not a skill I have AT ALL. If you ever want to talk about sobriety issues feel free to PM me.
