Why Am I Terrified Of Everything When I Quit Drinking?
Fear and anxiety are the top two reasons I found quitting alcohol difficult. It is an experience I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. These feelings can get so intense that it feels like the world is a hellscape, everything is a threat, and everyone hates you.

"Wrap Your Eye and See The Poison Version of You"
In the quiet of your study, you sat hunched over your laptop, fingers tapping impatiently on the keys.

Why We Have Crazy Dreams In Early Sobriety?
Becoming an expert in something takes a lot of repetition. As a chronic relapser, I have dealt with the pains of early sobriety many times (this is the last time); one thing that stands out is the crazy dreaming we do in those first few weeks of sobriety. Relapse nightmares, dreams about the past, and crazy dreams that make absolutely no sense, but feel extremely real, are something most people in early sobriety experience.

The Acid Trip to Hell #4 . Content Warning.
PART 4 OF 6 Now I can hear Elia is on the phone to Jason (and still in the bathroom). I knock on the door and say I really need in. No response. I can literally hear that she just stopped talking because I knocked. I knock again. Harder. And harder. I’ve had enough of this game they are playing with me.

The Acid Trip to Hell #2. Content Warning.
PART 2 OF 6 23-06-20 06:00 Woke up in Elia’s bed feeling confused and scared. I lay so still as I tried hard to remember where I was. It felt like the longest time before my brain remembered the train and coming to Elia’s place. I picked up my phone to see that Jason had messaged me at 4am saying the 365 DNI movie is in the top ten most watched on Netflix but also has been voted the worst movie of 2020. I messaged back to say it fits. He replied immediately saying good morning, I wish you a wonderful sunny day.

Do you talk to yourself often?
Self-talk can be distracting when it interrupts your morning routine. Just as you're about to drift off to sleep, you hear your alarm clock blaring. As you brush your teeth, remember that you need a haircut--unless there's a sporting event that day. Hastily grabbing your keys, you run outside just in time to see your neighbor. Being sociable can be frustrating, so some people label talking to oneself as a sign of mental instability.

The Attachment Theory: How Childhood Affects Life
The attachment theory emphasizes the importance of forming a strong bond with a primary caregiver in our early years. This bond provides a sense of security that allows us to confidently explore the world around us. However, when the bond is weak, we feel insecure and hesitant to venture out. Securely attached individuals tend to have greater trust, stronger connections with others, and overall success in life. On the other hand, insecure attachment can lead to mistrust, difficulties in forming relationships, and a lack of social skills.

Signs That You are Depressed, Not Lazy. Content Warning.
Have you ever had days where all you wanted to do is lie in bed and do absolutely nothing else, you just wanted to be lazy and not worry about any of your responsibilities? We've all had our off days. We've all felt lazy, unmotivated, and uninspired from time to time, and it's normal to feel like that. But we live in such a hypercompetitive society that's so hyperfocused on pursuing success and wealth that it's made us feel internally guilty for the time we spend not working towards something productive.
