Hello everyone. It's been awhile since I've been on this site. I have had a lot of trouble dealing with my negative emotions regarding myself and my family. I am so tired of all the drama that my mind is full and I just try to cope by escaping through substance abuse. It's obviously not working. I feel like I have forgotten all of my coping skills that I've been taught over the years. Maybe by reading some threads it will inspire me to go back to my meetings and my therapy groups. Thanks for listening. Kristen K.
