Had a very difficult weekend and feeling hopeless. My regret

Struggling Help

Had a very difficult weekend and feeling hopeless. My regret and shame feel crushing. However, I know I can't give up, so I'm looking for ways to engage with sober folks and folks in recovery. I need friends who understand what this is like. Glad to find this app.

Hello Roman. Are you involved in a group? AA/NA? That is going to be the best way to engage with a sober community. This app is helpful, but if you truly want to be sober, nothing beats a good group with plenty of time under their belt. The app “meeting guide”gives you the location and times of meeting near you. It works if you work it! Good luck man

Hi man, I agree with Tim, the app is great, but it's not a good replacement for in real life sober support. Get to some AA meetings and network a little. It might be strange and uncomfortable at first, but stick with it. The people there know where you're coming from and nothing you tell them will surprise them. You'll be in good hands.

Welcome. This is not for the faint of heart. Sobriety can be brutal, especially without the right support. Just hang in there because the alternative isn’t good. This is a great site. Also try AA meetings to grow you sober network.
