I live in Canada & today we celebrated Thanksgiving & today was the 3rd Thanksgiving that i wasn’t apart of with my family they all got together at my ex wifes house & for the first time in 3 yrs i’m ok with it & I’m not onebit upset & i don’t feel left out. My drug addiction & alcoholism took my wife & children & 2 grandchildren out of my life i have over 7 yrs of sobriety & for the past 3 yrs i was a dry drunk! I was miserable to be around & I acted exactly how i did for 30 yrs well using……..my family got sick of my stuff. Today im a grateful addict & if I keep working on myself i will find some happiness. I miss my family but I got lost after Covid all my actions were without out drugs or alcohol…….My sponsor says i still don’t go to enough meetings but I’m working to get healthy again. PLEASE HAVE A SAFE & CLEAN 24HRS

I’m sorry that this is your reality. I lost my family to drinking and even after almost 5 years of being sober it is like I never quit to them. It’s a harsh reality when your family comes to spend time with your ex-wife though and I have felt it before. I have had to search for internal happiness because that’s all I can do. One day at a time.
