Sarah I have done rehab last summer, I dont need medical detox though. I tried to get into a dual diagnosis IP dbt program last year but they turned me down because I was too unstable and actively drinking.

Hugs! I understand how difficult it can be. I find it challenging even when I'm in a stable place. It is work worth doing though. Every bit of progress you make helps. It happens one step at a time, picks up momentum as you go, and gets easier the more you practice.
It is empowering to know we can design the life we want for ourselves. You will go forward. You will go backward. Sometimes it will feel horizontal, upside down or even like you're standing still. The goal is to evolve over time and grow in your ability to love yourself. The real you. The essence hidden underneath all the trauma and the drama.
