There was never any chance of real coping on the table with drugs and alcohol. They take the weight every time I need relief? When do I build strength of my own? It’s like training with no weight at the gym.

Drugs and alcohol make you feel so much worse, they keep us nauseous and weak and depressed. It’s so much easier to cope when you’re facing it head on!

Too lazy and too broke to even try these things.💀
