Am fighting but feel like the battle is soon list. Not wih alcohol but OTC/prescription. I am tired. I am not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel today. Higher Poqer, give me hope
I am trying to stay sober after currently relapsing after almost 2 years but life and heart situations have happened one after another for over the last 5 months bringing me back down to where I was almost 2 years ago now I'm back at the beginning and have to start over how do I get this monkey off my shoulder cuz every time I'm doing good someone or something has to pull me back down in
I feel as though people in my life except for workers in The recovery center don't care what I need to do for myself as long as I'm doing for them if I have time then I can fit myself in and that's not fair they don't care to listen to me what I need friends or family
I asked them to please stop treating me like s*** and back off me two months before I relapse and now they look at me like wow really you can't get through hard situations without using I know I was the one that made that final choice to use it but I was not the one that kept dragging me in the mud
Can you give me some suggestions on how to put a boundaries and stand strong to them and not allow them to knock them down anyway and do as they please these are people that I care for and have to take care of so it's not like I can just walk out on them but they keep doing this to me and I'm not going to be here for them anyway and they don't understand that
Shannon, my sobriety and my emotional sobriety has to be my number one priority in my life!!! Over finance, romance and family.
With true sobriety I can have self love, peace of mind and all kinds of success. Without sobriety and emotional stability I get nothing but misery.
Cut those people off and take care of yourself. You can’t take care of anyone unless you’re solid.
Get a real sponsor, do your steps and be of service is a place to start.
Lynn are you working the 12 steps with a sponsor? If not, do so asap. Also service work in the NA or AA programs really helps.
I’m here if you want to talk.
