Go to meetings and share this same message there. I'm sure you'll find a listening ear or two and eventually a sponsor. Then someday someone will share a similar situation and you'll be able to help them. It's a beautiful thing

I went through a few sponsors till i realized I’m the problem. Showed up to meeting and asked the someone i never meet before to show me how to live. And just kept reminding myself of that when i wanted to debate with her. Shes got 27 yrs sober she obviously knows how to live sober. I dont. When i struggle i remember pg 417. My problems are my own making when i think something, someone isnt to my liking. Focus on the solution. Not my problems.

Remember none of us have been able to get sober on our own resources. We all had to seek help from others. Don’t let pride get in your way
