I want you to not forget. That you've tried this route before. It didn't fix anything. Temporary 30 second buzz. Isn't worth the shame or headache. You still end up right where you left off. You're so much more than this. You are hurting, you need a shoulder to cry on. Not a bottle of illusion. Scream, cry, sing... your way through it. The feeling will pass. It always does. I know it feels impossible right now & this seems like a good solution. But I promise you it's not. Think about your beautiful children... They are your world. You are teaching them how to love themselves by your actions. So love yourself furiously. For you are so worthy. Call a friend, ask for a hug. You aren't alone. You don't have to do this.

Don't Forget.
