[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sucks. You do not suck. Tomorrow is a new day. Maybe this is a push you needed to try again. Don’t give up OP. [/quote]

I absolutely hate posts like this. There is nothing wrong with op taking some ownership of her own issues/weaknesses. It is not always someone or something else’s fault. I’d definitely say op sucks. Get better, try harder. [/quote]

OP definitely needs to take responsibility, but the shame of "I suck" makes that very, very challenging. Separating the problem (alcoholism that is devastating her family) from the person (OP who is deep down at heart a decent person) is critical for OP to change her behavior. OP absolutely needs to try harder, and it's a lot easier to do that from a perspective of "I am a valuable human" versus "I am a piece of cr#p," because [i]what she has done is [/i]cr#ppy. Feeling shame for who you are just fuels the alcoholism. feeling guilt and embarrassment for what you have done because you believe you can do better fuels recovery.[/quote]
