I have nobody to talk to when I’m struggling. The people in my life do not listen. They just assume I’m looking for them to find a solution for me. To them, I’m just complaining…maybe I am. Constantly feeling like it’s not worth it for me to talk anymore. Maybe that’s my depression talking but a drink sure does sound really good. I have such a hard time with meeting new people because I’m so introverted. I’m not having a good day

I realized that people who are not alcoholics or addicts just do not understand. I had a once close friend tell me that there is no such thing as alcoholism, it’s a self-discipline problem.
And over time I realized that they can’t get it. It’s so important to find a network of people who do understand and that you can talk to. It will make all the difference. It doesn’t mean you have to end the other relationship, they just do not understand because they’ve never experienced it. Best to you!

Hello Robyn! Congratulations on your sobriety. Are you working any program of recovery, such as AA? What helped me in early sobriety was going to meetings with other alcoholics. It made me realize I was one of many addicts going through the same experiences, and allowed me to hear other people share their experience, strength and hope. It also allowed me to make connections with other sober women. The newcomer is the most important person in the room and you deserve to have other sober people in your life to support you. Also, I found a sponsor early on, and call my sponsor daily. She helps me work through any threats to my sobriety while taking me through the steps. Wishing you the best - you can do this! It will get better!
They just don’t understand and that’s OK I’ve been there and it was misconstrued it as I was seeking negative attention! Sometimes and words are better left unsaid, and you can talk to them about other stuff… keep certain stuff between you and your sponsor 
I am here if u ever need to talk
Go to a meeting!
