Hey everyone. I'm new to sobriety. Just 17 days an di am really struggling right now. I'm still dealing with seirous cravings like you wouldn't believe and I feel like I am going to use. And I really don't want to. Loneliness is playing a huge part in this. I don't have any friends that are clean and sober nor do I have a current partner. I spend all my time alone and with my 6 year old daughter. I'm looking for someone who would be willing to be my shoulder for the next little while. Someone I can trust and rely on to talk to when I'm struggling. If you are willing to do this for me, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. Im seriously desperate right now.

Get to a meeting and find a sponsor. Solving that loneliness problem will be a big help!
Jennifer have you drank anything or used any drugs since you asked for help
I can be a shoulder
I have a 6 year old daughter too and no sober friends. You’re not alone the cravings are high and low and come and go. Please stay strong mama, you’re little one will thank you one day just like mine will
Im not a female but I'm still a great friend and listener if you ever want to reach out I have sent you a friend request. Hang in there and try to get to a meeting.Being around like minded people is key in recovery. Also asking for help is important too . I suggest you start searching for a sponsor.
I sent you a friend request. I'm only 44 days sober, but could always use a friend. I'm always here to talk if you want to. I lost custody of my 10 year old son because of my problem. Please reach out to talk. Don't reach out to use.
First congrats on 17 days.
This takes me right back to the start of my sobriety. I remember that feeling so well. I’d get hit with those cravings at night, and it felt impossible to make it through without picking up the phone or coming up with some excuse to go to someone’s house I had no business being at.
That’s how addiction works. It tempts you and keeps tempting you, because giving in can feel easier than pushing through.
But I really want to encourage you to play it forward.
What happens if you pick up?
How would you feel tomorrow?
What might it cost you?
Distraction helps. When the urge hits, hop on here and post. Say how you’re feeling. Let it out. 17 days can turn into 34 before you know it. And you’ll be so proud you didn’t give up.
I’m here. You can DM me anytime. You don’t have to go through it alone.
No I have not. I've stayed clean.
Hey Chrissy. How do I DM you? I'm new to this app and I can't find out how lol. I added you
Sorry, I spelt your name wrong.
