I am having a hard time staying sober . My fiancé (baby’s mother) is in treatment while I take care of our daughter and I know she won’t stay with me if I’m still using but it’s so hard being all alone with nobody but my 3 year old to talk to who id never tell that I have a problem because ITS NOT HER PROBLEM . But I need someone to hold me accountable and talk to me when I’m going through the dark times of loneliness and depression. Anyone with ideas please speak.

I only do what I do when I’m not with her (daycare or grandmas)
Have you attended any AA or NA meetings via zoom? I was skeptical but have come to appreciate them in lieu of physical attendance. Depending on your financing and insurance you may consider seeing a therapist in person or online.
100% agree with Drew; do Zoom meetings. One after the other, as many as it takes to get you through. And just follow one simple rule: don’t pick up during or between meetings. If you’re feeling like you might use, jump into a meeting right away. You’ve got this, K. Here’s a link to find meetings (these are AA but there are all kinds of addicts in AA meetings): Browse the Directory of Online Meetings | Online Intergroup of Alcoholics Anonymous

Kinda a random suggestion but there are several video games on console and PC that offer community and are fun distractions. Lol it’s not therapy but if, like me, boredom leads to getting drunk and/or high AND you can’t leave house bc of your child… get yerself an Xbox or PS4 and have some fun!
Yeah I’ve been playing my ps5 I’ve been having a hard time finding a group to play with reoccurring I play amoung us and call of duty and ratchet and clank and stuff like that thank you for the suggestion
Thank you for this link I did not know they had these ! I will definitely give this a shot thank you so much
