HI Clarese, welcome to the group. Everyone is different when it comes to a reason to reach for sobriety. We all have different reasons for using in the first place. I started drinking to drown the hurt from being abused as a child. I didn't know any other way of dealing with it. The pain I felt inside was so overwhelming. I stared with alcohol. Drinking when I was 10 years old. I also ate and gained alot of weight. Just to hide from myself and everyone around me. After awhile, the alcohol and food became an enemy. It was more painful to continue my addictive behaviors than to deal with the issues in my life. I was so sad all the time. I would cut myself just to feel anything. Then I finially decided that I was sick of hurting all the time. I was tired of doing the same things day after day. I decided that I deserved to be loved and cared about. Especially by myself. That is why I decided to get clean and sober. I hope that you find peace in your life. No matter what you decide to do. Everyone deserves to be happy and loved. If there is anything I can help you with, please let me know. Your Friend, Chris |
