I wish I had words of support to offer just know I understand exactly. I went to shop rite today. Ate a rotisserie chicken and walked out
Do u have Medicaid they will transport u but only as soon as like not the next day but the next day
So u can reschedule and have rides if u can I use that to get to my mat programs and take my kids to the doctors and I schedule a month at a time because I got to mat 3 days out of the week
Also get to a shelter if u are a single woman with no kids it's was easier to take advantage to a shelter then with multiple kids and I had to do it with children if I was single I would have done it quicker and they help single people out quickly there's a lot of single women housing out there but u do need to put in the work to get an dfind the things and stay on top of ur interview and stuff . It is a lot but u can do it!
U have to speak up for ursrlf and stay strong my friend u will get through this !

Hi Michelle,
I can relate in a way. When it’s rains it pours for me. Always has been that way. I have recently uprooted my life and absolutely nothing has gone “to plan”
Relationships shattered and fear that I have never felt before. I am almost 8 years sober and I can say that situations that seem to be happening to us are happening for us. It’s the only way to look at it. The alternative is to pick up a drink and compound it all to oblivion that was always my answer before.

There's nothing that happens in my life that a drink won't make worse. I'm sorry you are struggling and I hope things are better for you tomorrow. There's that saying that I have to cling to at times...this too shall pass

This is struggle…it’s embarrassing, it’s painful, it’s shameful. Accept the reality and responsibility and know this is the lowest place you’d ever wanna go and make those changes you need to make.

You can survive this.
One day you will tell your story of how you’ve overcome what you are going through now, and it will become part of someone else’s survival guide.

We generate a lot of trouble for ourselves when we’re in our disease.
Just don’t drink or use and it will get better.
