Despite today being a celebratory occasion, me making 9 months sobriety, I’m waking with a heavy heart and body racked with anxiety. Upon learning someone who claimed to support me in speaking my truth has been manipulated into siding with my assailant, I feel absolutely sick. Being able to speak my truth and stand on it is all that matters to me, but navigating today without the feeling of heartbreak will be difficult. Could really use some words of encouragement as I continue trying to keep myself grounded.

Hey Mitchel, sorry you're feeling this way. If you can let this go and focus on what you want to do that will make you feel the way you want you'll be just fine in time. Hearts break, heal, feel good and bad, it's just part of it brother. Try not to drive too much identity from how you feel, at least that has helped me at times.
