Having a hard time

Im been sober for 6 days now,while struggling to stop for over a years, after coming off a 22 years clean period and relapsing.
Now i'm having such a hard time. I haven't been feeling with doing anything going to work. I've been just laying in my bed kind of wishing. Things would just come to an end but I don't have the strength, to make it come to an end. I'm just getting so tired, so tired.

I believe in you too! You’re early in your sobriety and it’s all of those feelings you’re having to feel. Hang in there! You CAN do it! You did it before :heart:

Please hold on. Rest if you need to. Let this community hold space for you until you feel strong enough to hold yourself again. You’re not alone, and we’re not going anywhere.

Hey sorry you're having a hard time. You will agree though, that it's easier than being stuck in active addiction, right?

I'm new to this too and spent the first week in bed as well. You aren't alone. The beginning is hard because you feel everything!

I slept for the first 48 hrs of my recovery every single time but as of today I am 14 days clean so my inbox will be open for you too if you need an ear!!

Keep praying and PLEASE reach out to someone in your local sober community. We understand! We won't judge you. We will help you

Right on! You got this! The body and mind will recover. Stay the course! So proud of you!

Hi Charlie
Just a suggestion, do 90 meetings in 90 days, find the guy who carries the message and ask to be sponsored. Start with that. Your story needs to be heard by many fellow sufferers! First things first. It’s a program of action not thinking, and we need you as much as you need us!!!

Hang on bro. Just hang on. It’s not easy. I know. Get to a meeting. Find support there. The world is better with you in it. You can beat this. You can do it!

Toughen up brother!

Charlie I was exactly where you are right now only a few months ago
I was so down on myself for battling my addiction for over 40 years. I didn't think I had another fight for sobriety left in me and I too wanted to end it all. I went to treatment for the 14th time and I prayed 3 times a day.When I did the twelve step program this time I did everything I was told and I got a sponsor. I don't know exactly when it happened but I started to feel better about myself when I got truly honest and looked at my demons head on. Now I never want to look back and I want to live life to the fullest. I hope you can muster up the strength and courage to get well again. Its so much better and your not alone your feeling just the way so many others before you have. We all totally understand what your going through and we love you no matter what you have done. You had a relapse but the most important thing is that you understand you are doing the right thing and quitting again. If you did it before then you can do it again. Don't be hard on yourself just move on we all love you and remember you are sick so all you have to do is take your medicine and everything will be back to normal. Hang in there I'm routing for you......

There's no reason to stop now. You have a reason to escape, and you deserve peace from these chains

Thank you, I hope you have a wonderful day!
