22 days today but I'm feeling kind of triggered and I feel like I need to share. My abusive ex just got out of the mental hospital and just happens to be staying in the same town I am in right down the street and he's still getting high. I'm so scared to leave my apartment right now because I'm afraid I'm going to run into him. It's making me feel all these emotions and feelings I don't want to feel and normally I would bury with other men or drugs and alcohol. Does anyone have any tips on how to stay strong through all this?
I would really encourage you to find a meeting, especially if there is a women's meeting close by. I know you are scared but isolating is the last thing you should do right now. Be around people who are sober.

Get support at meetings. Talk about what is going on. Remember if you want sobriety he is no longer a option. We get addicted to people also. Find new people in the meetings. Get some phone numbers and call them

Its a heavy lift, but pick up the phone, call your sponser, or somebody on your phone list, open your badic text, to page 78, and the second paragraph, and only the second paragraph, you should read! Internalize it, you got this
