I am struggling so, so, so hard right now. I’ve been sober over a year and it’s not my first go round but life is kicking me repeatedly in the (a**???). I don’t have a lot of fight left right now. I don’t even know why I’m posting this. I don’t want to bring anyone down. I just want off the rollercoaster (a lot of personal factors and stressors not related to substance use). That’s all. Thanks.

Hey Michelle! I'm so sorry that you're struggling right now! Try to get somewhere quite and breathe. In with all the good out with all the negative. Remember that the only things we can control are our attitudes and actions. Hang in the sister! You got this!

When you're running on empty and stuck in a storm where can't see anything Infront of you and to that you're sliding off the blooody road too. I have been there and got the t shirts. I don't know what your situation is or what you're dealing with but sometimes we just have to fluting yell. Since I can't cuss in these posts you get the idea of fluting I hope. All the emotions come to the surface over and over along with what you are going through to boot and we feel at a breakdown. It is okay to think flute it all and this is a bunch of bed sheets. Why am I even try. Have the thoughts but don't throw it away due to the thoughts. To heck with the thoughts and try to problem solve regardless of the overwhelming feeling and desire to the latter of throwing it away.

I am one trillion percent going to begin using the verb (?) “ fluting “ as a replacement word, term and precisely-please do not pick up, Michelle. The poison will make it all fluting worse ( times fluting one zillion )! Sincerely rooting for you. Rylan, fluting thank you for suggesting well, fluting! As usual, helpful insights here.

Good for you! Trust the process! I try to remind myself that I definitely don't want to go back to the person I was before!

Take care of that puppers, focus on your career and find those new adventures. (Can you tell I read your profile?
). I know that’s easier said than done. Hang in there. Winters in Duluth can be depressing just in themselves

Hi. One day at a time is how to stay sober. It will get better. It took me 2 years to start feeling better and calmer. It takes patience which can sometimes be hard. Don't pick up and go to a meeting. You'll wake up one morning and everything will make sense. I'm now 10 1/2 years sober. AA works. It is a simple program for complicated people.
