But you can do it. You can totally do it. It would probably help your mood quite a bit. Sending you strength.

Thanks. It's a little late for today, but tomorrow I will not use. Just gotta remind myself of that every day and take it one day at a time. I've had periods where all I use is weed and small amounts of alcohol, but I haven't had a period of full sobriety in years.

I just had a really good group session where I opened up more about trauma stuff. The counselor said she thinks my hallucinations/delusions/paranoia are more related to trauma than anything else. We discussed a lot of other stuff like anger and dissociation too. Helpful. First step I'm taking this week is working on sobriety while allowing myself to feel emotions.
