I'm here with you. Iv had plenty of those nights. Just have to recognize the patterns that those feelings don't last forever. We intuitively know how to handle situations which use to baffle us. Doesn't say there won't be situations. It just says we will know how to handle them without the use of drugs or alcohol

I feel so tired and just helpless I hate what I am doing to myself

Your not helpless. Your literally doing the hardest part right now...your asking for help and knowing there is a problem. Your doing it wether you see it or not

Hi Gigi do you like using the AA phone hotline to talk to other people with AUD or a state-based crisis services hotline? I still use them to this day in long term recovery. (We have one in my state of CO) I swear, if it weren't for the volunteers of the AA hotline or CO crisis line in my first few years, I would have never gotten through all those conflicting emotions changing in my body all the time as I stayed sober....just a suggestion but the app is here for you too :slight_smile:

Even the person with 10 years, truly just has today. We start over every day. We’re technically all on Day 1

Thank you for sharing that, your feelings are a painful reminder of a time that makes me sick to my stomach to think about. The good news is that it’s just a reminder for some, meaning you can get past it too, it doesn’t have to always be this way.

Thank you! I have secluded myself even from friends because most of my friends drink a lot. Last time I went out with them I got lost trying to drive home. It was so scary

We can't be lonely if we have a higher power. I was never lonely with my demons either, but this way's better. Go to a meeting. Talk to people about it there.

Get up. Look yourself in mirror and tell yourself your amazing. If anyone gives you issues, stand up push them out of your thoughts. If there physically there round kick um, and take control of your life.
