Might be a while. Lol. Thanks!!!!
Find the things your grateful and thankful for in your life. Some days I REALLY need to take a step back, "I'm thankful that I have food to eat, or a roof over my head, etc. Start there. Self-pity won't get you where you want to go. Find new friends. Sound like your current ones aren't too friendly. Move forward. Connect with a power greater than yourself. Find fellowship where you can talk from the heart.

People only hurt our feelings if we allow them to.
My former sponsor told me a long time ago that what people think of us is none of our business.
People come in all different shapes and sizes, and we have to allow people to have their views. After a while, we pick and choose who we allow in our lives. People who hurt our feelings; We usually don't allow those kinds of people in our changed lives

Good question!! This has always been one of my downfalls. But Iāve learned an have to constantly remind myself that when someone hurts me that shows their character not mine, how I deal with the hurt shows my character. I want to be a better person a different person so I can not hurt them an I canāt hurt myself because Iām hurting, if I do , if I do relapse thatās not hurting anyone but me . Donāt give anyone the power to upset you so much that you hurt yourself.

Seriously, fĆ¼ck it. Doesn't matter right now. You're in triage. Stop the bleeding first, then deal with the flesh wounds.
Just because you're sober doesn't mean the aĆhokes of the world stop being such. Hang in there.

Jennifer I've learned over time that only God can fill the whole in your heart.Today I surround myself with healthy womens However I took some suggestions and got outside help,picking the phone up and really looking at the situation for what it is.I used to struggle a lot but started taking suggestions.
