Struggling Help
#21

Struggling with what, if I may ask…. Staying sober, getting a first day under your belt, getting sober, struggling with the fact that getting sober doesn’t suddenly make it all better…… I am simply curious. I am struggling, is a veryyyyy broad statement where sobriety is concerned…. In my humble opinion. Also, frankly, it doesn’t matter WHAT the struggle may be, but I think it helps to know specifically WHAT you are struggling with….. again , just MY OPINION :wink:….. there is one of the beautiful things about sobriety, I have a struggle story, “ Betty” has a struggle story, “ Stephen” has a struggle story…. We ALL have struggle stories :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:, and to me that is a special aspect to sobriety. Not one single struggle is like another struggle. Oh sure, they seem a lot alike, but I promise “struggling” is not the same for one single individual ….. not the struggle to decide to get sober, or the struggle to stay sober, or the struggle that sobriety may not be “ what we expected”….. oh my gosh I could go on all day, and I won’t, because I am more curious in “ what you are struggling with :wink:, that is if you want to share….. maybe you want a struggling answer and don’t want to be specific….. that in and of itself IS A HUGE STRUGGLE…. again IMHO :+1:t3::wink::bangbang: I would love to read/hear/ know your struggle…. Do you feel like being specific​:question:I will happily “listen” with my eyes :eyes:….:joy:. I am not laughing at you, I personally think it’s funny to say, I will listen to your struggle, when actually I am READING it :wink:.
Anyway….. in general choosing to get sober = struggle. Staying sober = struggle. Feelings when you get sober= massively HUGE struggle. The struggles are endless and I mean ENDLESS, however, the struggles AND dealing with them sober is :100: % WORTH IT, that I can and will promise you. I am Jessica, :wave:t3:, and I wold love to read your struggles :purple_heart::wink::+1:t3::bangbang:

if it was easy... everyone would be doing it. we can't do it alone, do get that right outta your head. the BB gives specific directions on how to get and stay sober. trust God, clean house, help others.

@courtney386598 I'm going to keep it simple. What are you struggling with? Let's start there.

Just breathe

#28

You’re not bothering anyone by reaching out. This stuff gets real heavy real fast. What’s going on that feels unmanageable?

@courtney386598 it's been roughly 5 days since you posted this.

One is going to hope and pray that:

  1. You found a bed at a treatment center.,

  2. That you're not out there roaming around and using.,

  3. That you're not out in some field dead and decomposing under 4 feet of snow and we don't find you until the spring thaw.
