This presentation brought me to tears. What a horrible experience. Good on her for sharing. Very courageous.
Abi is such a good storyteller. I’ve been following her for a while. Truly special person I wish her all the best♥️
Wonderful, Abigail. You keep on going! You might want to have a look at the work of Dr. Abraham Twerski. He was a great psychiatrist. Good luck!
You are a courageous young woman. I'm so glad you've started this positive process for yourself and I wish you every happiness.👍
In awe of your honesty Abigail - many things I could relate too. Thank you deeply for sharing your experiences and how you currently see and feel about them, and will be fascinating how that evolves for you....
It is not the substance that we abuse, but it is that we find the substance for the horrible world that our mind is trying to escape. I heard her words, but I could feel her pains. Yes, I know, it will be for her as it is for me, a lifelong journey. Brave it is for herself that of which she is doing? Unless one has wallowed in the depravity of substance abuse, you really have no idea how bad it is... all the while knowing for yourself that the substance is making your seem to feel better, one always knowing that you are not, and so you do more.
Sounds like me. Alcoholic and stopped three years ago. Have worked out and now diagnosed with ADHD. We require dopamine hits and chaos is our normal. We'll done for being brave, keep up the fight Alcohol robs you of yourself
Amazing & brave talk. Xx Abigail should check out Neurodiversity. She strikes me as an ADHDer.
Abigal I m pretty sure your problematic was and is (for lot of young now) the whole envirement dealing on you to have unbalanced self-esteem. But all I know is your story telling tells a lot about your big heart and integrity that addiction isnt and have not been the best way for your happy life. Im very touched of your what you transfered to the public
Why are you serving "biscuits" to alcoholics? Do you
not see the connections?
So true, I went to some AA meetings years ago and the coffee table was full of processed, cheap biscuits and tea and coffee with lots of sugar. Many said they turned to sugar after they stopped the drinking. Perhaps as science evolves we will be able to help AA meetings and their fellows by removing the biscuits.
