• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

So like a moron I've been drinking with friends but now I'm home alone. I'm supposed to be "sleeping it off" but when left alone in this state, it's not good. My mind drifts to my "sharps box" and I take part in my weakness. Whats worse, is in the drunken state I can't feel much. Leading to wounds that are worse than usual. I hate that I can't be strong in this weakened state. Despite the temptation that is always there, I can avoid in when in the right frame of mind or when I'm not left alone after a few drinks with friends. My cowardice and lack of strength appalls me. I just wish I was strong enough to not let myself crumble.

Why do you have a "sharps box?"
