I am struggling because I have been sober for the first time in my adult life and I'm now 50. My addiction became Soo bad I have been homeless for the last decade. I live in a halfway house now and I am not used to being around people like this, especially a bunch of gossipping females. It is very hard for me. I almost left last night but I kept my feet planted.

CONGRATULATIONS on your 174 days of sobriety. Keep up the good work.
Nothing worse than being around a bunch of cackling hens..

I feel you, girl. I'm a woman who is not comfortable with gossip from anyone. Be patient if you want what we have. Stick around for the miracle.

Just try to keep a open mind. Structure is a positive thing. Personalities before principles will always occur so just try to discern the heart and be aware not overall concerned. Also it will improve overtime. People are just people not dogs or children honey. You're doing great. Open up and release to your higher power:+1:

It gets better, stay focused on the positive stuff. Gratitude. I went to a lot, and I mean A LOT of meetings when I was new and lived in a treatment center. At least two each weekday and hung out at meeting halls/alano clubs on the weekends. Surrounded myself with people who are living sober. Routing for you to stay!!
