I feel like I have no support at all because no one validates my struggle or gets it even a little bit in my close circle. every time I try to talk to my close friends about it I end up feeling even worse. I always get blank stares or pointless questions like ‘’why can’t you stop?’’ again and again and again, even after I already explained them how I feel and why I’m struggling. Or them explaining me how they can stop while they have a healthy relationship with alcohol and never had those issues.
Ya, it’s the way it is, as others have stated. I challenge you to turn your premise on its head and refocus that emotion to empathize with the man or woman on the corner asking for money or sleeping under a bridge. Really no difference between what they are going through and what I was going through. Chemical dependency. I just had a better job at the time.
