Hey all!

Im suffering from the temptations of drinking. I was 1 year sober and had a few drinks today.. I feel absolutely terrible about giving into the old habits.. and I really need a helping hand.

AA hasn’t been much help - especially that I work 70 hours a weeks and I’m not sure how much longer I can even do that!

I don’t have health insurance - I’m a cook so my pay is based on tips and a base pay.

Im worried that my old habits are back to haunt me, and I know I’m a valuable asset to this community.

I just need someone to communicate with.. talk with.. that’s like me. If you feel like you can help, please message me!

All my best!

This is my only day off for the week - I’m really struggling. Looking for someone to talk with.

Life’s a mess. I fucked up the other day and drank. Now I feel even worse, but my brain says.. you’re okay, have another drink. I’m struggling to get away from that

Incredible depressed - I live alone - a long way from family

Hi Jon. You had 1 year sober and 1 bad day. Believe in yourself now and know that you can do many many days in a row sober! You just did that. Pick up and carry on where you left off. Don’t beat yourself up over and over.

Not a problem Jon. One thing that might help in the weeks and months to come- even after Covid a lot of meetings stayed on Zoom, or became hybrid meetings. My wife is leaving, I’m not doing great with it, and sometimes I will just join a zoom meeting on my phone and have the audio in my earbud. I’ll write in the chat that I’m at work or I’m busy, but I really need to hear friendly voices, and everyone understands.

There are also meetings all over the world. So if you are in the kitchen shutting things down at 3:00 AM, you can find morning meetings in New Zeland

Aren’t we all here?

Florida.. I’ve only been a couple times as a kid… visiting my grandparents. I was always scared of the alligators, but spent hours and hours at the rivers. Spring gardens
