I’m really struggling these past few weeks. It will be 3 months sober on the 8th but I still feel miserable. My health is declining since I had a mini stroke last week and it’s made some simple thigs difficult for me to do anymore. My hair,writing or using my laptop. Instead of finding things I should be grateful for, I seem to be fixated by the new limitations. I’m surrounded by people in my sober living community but still feel so alone. I just tried to log into a Zoom meeting and I couldn’t make my hand do that simple task since the stroke. I’m sorry for being so negative. I’m truly just venting. I’ve been texting friends words of encouragement who are also in recovery to get out of my own head.

I’m sorry you are going through this. Praying that things get better. Try to join the zoom meeting. Maybe you can ask someone to log you in. Hang in there. 
Im sorry. I’ve been in that space where everything feels like too much and even the smallest things fveel impossible.
What you shared takes real courage. Proud of you. I'm here if you want to connect.

@cindy407303 Don't give up hope. If you're following a 12 step program the 2nd step states "“Came to believe that a Power greater than
ourselves COULD restore us to sanity.” In this step the word COULD is used as an affirmative. Meaning WILL restore us to sanity. If that Power greater than ourselves could. Then there is hope. Don't give up hope.
Once we come to believe then we can turn our lives over to the care of God as we understand him.
You're not being negative it's good you're getting this off your chest. I get it. I get it 
%. To a certain extent my body is shutting down as well. Again you're not alone.
Love ya, Sis
