Have so much to be grateful for yet happiness escapes me… have no boundaries with anyone and conform to each environment I am around with no core values but over committing myself… busy is an understatement. Always alone afraid to call. Help please

Jeff, we all have this in degrees. So, are you working a program? Just wondering for some insight on the situation. There is a solution.
Not perfectly but I keep coming back and working with others.

I cannot tell how much help the combination of AA and ALANON has helped me. I highly suggest getting to meetings of both as often as possible.
BTW, no one does anything perfectly. We’re human beings. Doing the best we can.
It’s going to be ok.
Hi Jeff. I can relate to having felt very similar to what you are saying. By all means I had a blessed life. Yet, I felt so overwhelmed and anxious all the time. Today I have the same exact life, but everything is completely different. The only difference is me. Here’s what I did to get where I am today. I went to AA meetings. I got a sponsor. I work(ed) the steps. I help others. I go to a therapist. I pray and meditate. I listen to recovery oriented podcasts. I have sober friends. While I still experience stress and funky moments, they are less intense and more manageable. The unmanageability in my life is a bit more manageable…because I work the program of AA. Try it. You deserve to enjoy your blessed life

Whoooodaaaaawhoooo Jeff! It takes a certain level of awareness to pinpoint where you are. Thank you for your transparency. I felt that way not to long ago, I started back journaling and exercising and I’m starting to feel empowered. I’m starting to feel glimpses of joy seeping back into my life. Try saying what you are grateful for and why you’re grateful for it
