I really need friends. I recently moved 9 hours from home with my two babies because when I went through detox I had no help, I quit fent cold turkey & it really really took a toll on my mental health & my body. So I moved so that I’d have help with my kids as I got sober.. I fell off the Wagon & am so scared to go through the mental silence of detox again. I am so scared & it’s even worse because I have no family, no friends, nobody that understands, nobody I can talk to about this without being judged… I need friends :frowning:

Oh man, I’m sorry. I’ve been there and it sucks but you *can get through this. When I last relapsed I felt like I had to hide it from everyone for the same reasons you stated, and it’s lonely. This app was a lifeline when I was still too sick from detox to make it out of the house, and I have made real friends here. You’re in the right place. Meetings helped me a lot too. I just read a memoir by a woman who relapsed 10 times before achieving more than a few months without her drugs of choice. Don’t count yourself out, ok? You’ve got a good community here, and we are rooting for you. Please DM me anytime and take care of yourself. You deserve it :orange_heart:

There’s no judges here only friends and good people. You can call me any time. I can help or listen if you like. I’ve seen the good the bad and the ugly of getting sober of drugs and alcohol

Your heart is in the right place. You definitely can’t do it alone, everyone here’s willing to listen and offer support. You have friends if you want them. I would look into your local meetings and/or individual counseling. It will help. Quitting you DOC cold turkey takes a toll so medication management does work for some.
Stay strong!

Welcome to Loosid! I’m here. No judgment here. Your past isn’t who you are today. I’m learning that relationships are a key component to salvation. Our secrets are killers just like resentments. I have to get real within my own being. Deep inside my heart. Fear is another one that will confine us from the truth. Fear is our way to not allow change to happen. I still deal with fear in sobriety. Keep talking about your struggles. Keep your head up. Find a higher power if you have not do so by now. I’ll pray for you.

Leila, sorry to hear you are struggling. You can talk to any one on here or in a meeting without judgement. There are numbers to call for help in treatment or the NA app that will show meetings in your area. Hitting a couple meetings in your area will show you that you may not have family or friends but you are definitely not alone in this. Alone we cannot, together we can!
