Ex problem drinker/drug user/failed suicide attempter. Now in recovery studying to be a Recovery coach. I really don’t know what is going on with my mental health. What I do know is I’ve got a good heart and I want to do my best. Only possible if I stay away from drink and drugs. When I do that I can focus and get things done. My problem isn’t that I can’t do it. It’s that I get scared and overthink things way to much. Scared of situations but more scared of myself and what happens when I crack under pressure. I end up destroying everything positive around me and end up in prison. I am not a prison kind of guy so even more of a train wreck having been there twice. Anxiety YES – Catastrophizing YES – Self destruction YES – Traumatic memories of my mum being slashed and batter YES. Got an A++ In The School of Life. Stubborn enough not to give up on finding peace and stability in a self made circus of a journey called life DETERMINED will and genuine heart felt belief that balance and peace of mind can be achieved, with effort and sometimes a bit of blind faith Hard working and optimistic with a positive outlook and a deep desire to help others Chaotic childhood – Bullies – – Domestic violence – Drink – Drugs – Gambling Attempted suicide – Rehab and Prison have all given me an insight and character that is resilient and understanding to many of the consequences of addiction This I hope will help me to help others avoid as much of that as possible and stay on track. Or take the first steps towards sobriety Good Points
