Exactly What I'm talking about De-attaching From These people who only want to bring me down. I Wish they would have more support in my home town.... and The mental health system is overbooked and there is a major long list.
I'm going through the same. There are no meetings by any organization anywhere close to here, which is one reason I'm moving the heel outta here. Also, to detach from those terrible influences like you said. I'm going to SMART rather than AA where I'm moving, but both have zoom meetings quite frequently. Some of those groups actually do sober things outside of meetings as well, which is pretty key since we addicts tend to isolate and hole up when getting sober. It sounds like you are doing the right things, but you need some cognitive therapy for the PTSD. I don't know if you have PTSD w/ "psychotic features" which my exe had, but Ability did her wonders. Just FYI....and know that you are definitely not alone going through this.

I’m so sorry you are feeling alone. That truly stinks. I don’t know where your located but get to a meeting online you can always find a sponsor there who can work with you. Your not alone You have all of us. You are important you are loved and know you matter. Keep your head high and know this too shall pass. You got this! It’s going to be ok.

I just don't have zoom or the instructions to do it ...
Go to meetings near your zip code. If you click on one of the zoom meetings it should prompt to download the required software.
