Hi guys,

I'm struggling. I'm coming up on 8 months sober from alcohol and clean from codeine, but I'm really fighting urges to say F-it and relapse. I'm kind of stressed with my rather busy school / therapy schedule, but what's getting to me is the emotions. I'm bursting into tears over almost everything, or I'm flying off the handle. I know I'm feeling stuff more intensely because I'm used to numbing everything with alcohol. I'm also fighting urges to SI, because I really don't want to go back there, but I really badly want something to take the edge off, even though I know it would be epicly stupid, self destructive and dangerous.

I just need some reassurance that If I stay sober and keep working the steps and going to meetings, and do well in school, that things will eventually get better.

I need help believing that it's possible to turn my life around right now.

Thanks.
