Struggling Help
#21

I'll be alone for holidays do to my past drunk excursions. You gotta stay busy, envoveled, go to shelter serve food like I will this Thanksgiving. It gets better. I'll miss Thanksgiving with my kids but will have Xmas. In meantime I try to help others. It brings joy to your heart. Hang in there.

If u need a option, 254-290-3821, normally wouldn't give my number out. But last Thanksgiving is when I tried to end it and entered rehab. I feel your pain.

Thank you so much Jeff I have a 267 number so if I call you you know. I tried to end it August 19th when my fiance and I broke up. Didn't work so now I am sober lol. But thanks if you need me I'm here for you as well.

Thank You. Truly appreciated. I've been so proud for years, no help needed I thought, war vet, still in, thought solid mind. I could do multiple deployments fighting,thought home life would be easy. That's the hard part for us. Don't believe the movies lol.

Wow thank you for your service Jeff! My brother is in the coast guard (I know not the same) but I have a lot of respect for people like you. It is extremely difficult especially when they just don't understand.

It's all the same brother. Just different missions.

I know the feeling! And it don’t feel good at all, this makes me have flashbacks of my relationship, I relapsed after my relationship ended! I was a mess, and I still haven’t fully recovered! Sending prayers!:clap::muscle:t4::pray::heart:
