Me to AJ. I feel the exact same way. We are looking to the future though and I think that’s what’s gonna be the difference this time.

Good Morning AJ! We all know what this feels like. Whether we have 1 day or 10 years, we all start at day 1 filled with all of these horrible feelings. Nobody comes here on a winning streak. It’s a bottom that feels awful. The reality is you are not alone. We are here for you. I also suggest you get involved in a daily program of recovery. I do AA. I’ve met many new friends that I now consider my AA family. While I still feel lonely at times, I realize that those are just negative feelings my disease is feeding me. I found tools that help me get thru these feelings until they pass. Welcome to recovery. I hope you find the strength and courage to stay. You already started by looking and asking for help. That’s a hard thing to do, so I think that’s awesome :pray::peace_symbol:
