That’s the problem. Like one friend who lives a ways away, my husband and I are separating, and I have no family. I’ve have never felt so isolated, and alone as I feel right now during this time.

I get it, and I feel the same way a lot of the time, but the truth is we're not "alone" there are countless people that are willing to be there to talk to you at a moments notice if you're willing to reach out and make that call or send that message, which I know can be difficult to do. And I know that's not the same as being face to face with someone and actually feeling that physical connection, I'm that same way where I crave intimacy, which is why I'm a big proponent of in person meetings where you can hug someone and feel that connection. But you're not "alone" unless you choose to be cuz there are a whole bunch of people here that are willing to help. And be a friend

God is trying to teach us something
Listen things can get challenging and hard and trust me I’ve slipped so many times this year it’s crazy to even count them with so little days that have acutely gone by🤷🏿♂️ but I finally made it to day 3 and after the first 2 nights of no sleeping I’m starting too realize that drinking wasn’t for me and I’ve lost way to much too go back . So that being said I’m praying for you girl and good luck and all the best of wishes to you !
Make a commitment to want to feel your best. Get yourself a grocery list together of chicken turkey vegetables like sweet potatoes 
broccoli 
and don’t forget the seasoning mrs dash is the mama jamma. Why because when you cook your own healthy amazing food you feel proud of yourself, plus you can lose weight while stuffing ur face with these foods. Finally when your full your don’t want to drink.
One one said it was going to be easy. Nows the time you see what you’re made of. I would suggest a lot of praying, provided you have excepted a higher power now.
It sure is hard. It's probably the hardest thing most of us have ever done or are doing. Just know that you're not REALLY alone in this. We only have to take the step of reaching out to someone who is understanding and has been there themselves. I know that part is maybe one of the hardest parts.

You aren’t alone. Even reaching out on here is a good step. Continue to reach out. Supporting one another through encouragement and what has helped us through our own journey in recovery. Go to a meeting if you can. Online even.
