If this is an Emergency please call 911.
Take a few Deep Breaths
If you are having withdrawals let someone know and get to a hospital to get checked out. Some withdrawals can be life threatening especially from alcohol. I have to say that I am not a qualified therapist and this is not professional help. I come from personal experience with withdrawals, panic attacks and the insanity and state of mind that comes from a toxic mind and body. If you have intentionally come to this point then please do me a favor and take 10 deep breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth.
One Day at a Time
This is all temporary and how you’re feeling will pass, the only thing consistent in life is change. There is always hope no matter the circumstances. You may feel worst than ever before but that’s all it is… a feeling. I know what it feels like to be raw inside and out. A deep hopelessness that weighs heavy and threatens to suffocate. I get it and know that I understand because I know addiction. I found my bottom and maybe you have too?
Your Mind can be a scary place
Lets side track here and humor me will you. Think of where you are right now… on a planet with billions of other people floating around a giant star in a solar system that is a speck in our universe. To be blunt our existence is very small and it is our perceptions that make life seem so out of proportion to reality. My point here is you make your own reality. I used to hold onto everything and in turn almost everything in my life upset me until I realized that 95% of my life goes on inside my head. If my head isn’t right my life isn’t right. I do highly suggest breathing exercises. I started doing a lot of basic tai chi when I started recovery and the breathing helps more than you would think it could. It does wonders for your blood flow and the extra oxygen helps to clear and calm the mind. Remember you just have to make it through today and then tomorrow will be today. We see what we look for so please seek out the good in this world, open your heart and mind to what may seem impossible.
