I’m great Gil I made it 30 days. It’s hard cause my drinking problem led me to being homeless so, I’m staying with her till I can get in a homeless shelter or I can save money for my own place. I miss my ex boyfriend which my drinking was the cause of our break up. It was hard to stay sober when he likes to drink all the time. I just been trying to stay positive and trusting in God to lead me to a more positive life.

I’m in your exact position. Losing my ex and stepchildren of 10 years bc of drugs and alcohol, 40 days removed from being homeless and just celebrated 30 days today. I didn’t get a call from my youngest stepson on Father’s Day and thats the day I decided to make a change. I was delusional and had no desire or capability to live in reality. I wanted to feel sorry myself bc I thought my ex should have made him call me. Seems reasonable, right? That’s the delusion I was living in and the way this illness keeps us sick… that day I decided to look at my part and no one else’s and realized I gave my family away and just bc I did it subconsciously due to untreated alcoholism does not negate the results that it produced. Once I face reality and take action my life instantly gets better. I’m proud of you for fighting this illness and proving to yourself that you’re worth a better life than you’ve been living. As my sponsor would say “you’re right where you’re supposed to be and you’re doing good kid, keep it up. I hope this helps
