Nothing good has happened to me in sobriety and I should’ve never gotten sober. Especially because a very special person died to me 2 weeks after I got out of rehab and tons of other stuff is going on that is miserable and stressful.

I remember when I was were you are right now. Self pity can be brutal. Poor me, right? It's all a form of selfishness that can kill us if we're not careful. Life is hard enough. It won't get any easier if you start boozing again.
Think of the things that make you happy, grateful in this world. A pet. A place. A friend. The roof over your head currently. Did you eat today? We are so blessed. Sometimes you have take a few steps back to see it, but we are so fortunate. I mean your not drinking today, right?
Believe! If that's hard for you. Start here, on this app, chatting with G.O.D., a Group Of Drunks, if you stick with it, you'll evolve and not look back my friend!

I know how easy it is to feel that way. My husband of 28 years died when I was 30 days sober. It was horrible. And many other very hard things. The thing to remember is that things will get better and easier to manage and not to give up. Find a meeting, find a sponsor and a sober circle and start to heal and purge and get some support! Hang in there🥰

Unfortunately you experienced bad luck. In my opinion, and I’m no expert, nothing comes from being drunk all the time. But I guess it depends on your level of drinking

Early sobriety sucks!!! That's one thing that keeps me straight. I don't wanna start over again!

Well said I've worked to hard for the last 14+ months to just hand it over
My heart hurts for you ❤️🩹
I remember those early days and how hard it was for me. I try to focus on gratitude these days , I was not capable of being grateful for anything in active addiction . This week marks the second anniversary of when my daughter was hit by a drunk driver while walking her dog - by a miracle she lived - for that I am grateful today . Yesterday was my second day at my new Nursing job that I got the privilege to work with active duty military and veterans as they are starting there journey in sobriety. From having a God sized hole in my soul to being able to give back is The Promises coming true. Keep coming until the miracle happens for you.

Nothing is more horrible than continued insanity through numbing, a lot of people here would agree, it gets better, stay the course

Life is going to happen no matter what just remember what got you sober and eventually things will get better take it from me I buried two of my brothers because they couldn’t get this thing called recovery and they died very young. I seen a lot of people drink again and not make it back. I’m just telling you this because I care about you and to encourage you to keep pressing forward and to stay in sobriety.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN DRINKING. it will take awhile to feel good if you have been drinking for a long time. TRUST THE PROCESS. BE A LONGTERM THINKER
My heart goes out to you. Sending good vibes your way. I can’t imagine what you’re going through but I hope you can find some level of peace so you can get your head wrapped around everything. And I know if you can stay sober, things will get better. One foot in front of the other, you’re stronger than you think. You CAN do this!
Thank you, that helps a lot
Thank you for your kind advice
Pray to God to carry your burdens when the load is too heavy to lift alone.
My condolences Bella, i heard you loud and clear when you said “ nothing”. But there is one thing that i feel is “something”, you.
The first 90 days can be very confusing, don't leave till the miracle happens
That is your illness speaking. Trapped little monster wants to cime out and regain control over you.
