Wow, that's a whole lot of honesty on a page.
Those mental demons are like chains preventing our progress. How to be free when they seem necessary to lock away the pain? The truth is the pain needs to escape. It needs to be understood. It needs to be harnessed. Trust in one's self is hard. We are all fallible, but I believe, everyone can become a better version. I've had tonnes of therapy and it's helped. It showed my demons for what they were, a series of poor choices. Its important not to be too hard on ourselves. The drink dulls the pain, but it also perpetuates it. You can do this, stop the cycle.

The honesty is this is so real it hits hard. The struggles of life have been a real kick in the teeth this year and it's not surprising that many of us have retreated back to old habits but there are some comforts in those habits unfortunately. You will get there eventually and you are strong!!!!

Take care and take my love.
