You got this
Never give up, it takes time, I believe in you 
Bro I feel the same way some days. Especially when I’m triggered over and over again by stuff not going according to plan and having no one to talk to …. But then I remind myself how I’ve started over before/ several times. I’mma guess this isn’t your first time having no friends no money no job no car no whatever it is that makes you feel helpless. We can get all that back once we start telling ourselves we got this!

Same here bro stay strong join do a hobby or join a club
Please don’t give up.
You have a life.
Maybe not the one want right at this exact moment but you still have a life and value. You can make friends. 17 days is amazing, you should be so proud of yourself. Try AA, NA, Smart Recovery anytime type of recovery meeting and you can meet people.

No life... nobody wants me.
It’s gonna get a whole lot better. Self-loathing goes away. Alcoholics feel guilty when they drink. It dissipates.Your 17 days is monumental. Alcohol lies to you..isolates you,
And only one day is your job. Today. It took me 5 mos. of drinking and going to meetings. Then I got 30 days. It was huge. I’ll have 6 mos. on Oct. 29. I hated myself. I felt worthless. I can’t live like that. You are not alone by any stretch. We are there..Just give the next 24 hours a shot. You don’t have to think about never drinking again..just 24 hours. My 3 siblings died from alcoholism. I lost my family. Everyone’s path is different..but same goal. Stopping the liquid depression. And one thing that grossed me out is having beer breath. Ugghhh. Hang in there..Brighter days are ahead. The first 30 days is the hardest imo.

It's the addiction filling your head with despair to get you back ...it's panicking realizing you may be done for good. You still don't even know who your sober self (true self) at 17 days. I didn't really make any friends or find any type of romantic relationship until about 6-7 months of sobriety. Not that long considering I was drunk every night for 15 straight years 🤷. I don't know how bad you're drinking was but the socializing aspect of new sobriety is difficult for most people. You gotta relearn how to communicate with people without the liquid courage crutch...which sucks for quite a while, especially romantically...you feel awkward as he ll. You'll get there. Only requirement is to not start back doing what you know doesn't work. Don't pick up that $#&$#@& bottle my man. We are all here but you really need to catch a meeting, AA , SMART whatever you got nearby. Keep strong.
We love you. You’re not alone, you’re part of this community and we support you. You mean so much to us, you have strength to big and beautiful, don’t give up please
Self pity is a tool of our disease. It steals our hope.
If your life is dogshït now, how do you think it got that way? The problem cannot be the solution. Problems aren’t solved by avoiding them. They are solved by working through them.

I realized there was one kick a$$ person that wanted me. And that was ME. Do this for YOU, not for some potential somebody. That shi will work itself out.
Neeks, we're all in this together. Desperation is a gift at times to show us that what we were doing has not gotten us to where we want to be. Don't give up, so many people die miserably because they give up. Don't make that your story. Drop the self pity, and make baby steps; it doesn't matter how long it takes to get to where you want to be but it does matter that you leave alcohol behind, like an anchor that's hiding you under water but only as long as you hold onto it. Make the change, keep the change. Your mind is powerful, learn how to use it to see your ship in a positive direction.
