I can't seem to even get 1 day. I can't change my people, PLACES, AND THINGS . I'm stuck here. And I'm not complaining bc my kiddos are here. But I can't seem to shake this . I just can't stop bc it's all around me

Hi Theresa, what triggers you to drink each time? And what time of day is it? Whenever that trigger happens or that time comes around, attend a meeting instead. This way you are placing recovery where the trigger or time is.
Do you have a sponsor?
Theresa, I’ve been there and you CAN. And when you get through that first day you will be so proud of yourself. Go for it!
It's not drinking.. it's Meth. And the person I live with does it...and it's all around and I have no where else to go
I did have one.. but I moved home after being in sober living for those two years sober. But no I haven't found one here yet bc it's so country.. I have to drive 45 mins for a meeting
I have before like I said I had almost two years but then I moved back into this place I call home... But I have no other place to go...and pending charges so I can't get a good job or find another place to stay
I don't know how to answer the chat
The same theory applies. When you want to use do something to support you recovery instead. I can imagine it’s really difficult with it around you constantly, and I hope that you are able to move away soon. But in the meantime put recovery into the space that you want to use.
I apologize I don't receive notifications from this site so had no idea these are applies were here. And everyone has to live their own life I'm not going to give advice but I will give feedback all I know is what we put before our sobriety is the first thing we're sure to lose sounds like possibly you may need to change your life around a bit too accommodate sobriety whatever will work for you is what you need to do and it might just be a little more difficult for you to get a sponsor but it is possible even a sponsor you didn't see every week would be better than nothing I know you can find like a temporary sponsor on this site for example
Don't wait until you get a DUI like I did( my sixth).or your health deteriates, have faith in yourself and make changes before someone else makes them for you
Your life is on the line. Go to NA, AA, CMA - anything so you don’t have to see the DA! 45 minutes to get to a meeting? Would you drive 45 minutes to pick up a sack?? It’s not that far then… There are Zoom meeting all hours of the day also.
If I lived with someone who wouldn’t quit, I would make leaving a top priority - for me and my children. If I didn’t have family or friend resources, I would look at public assistance or local government social programs. Where there is a will, there is a way.
