Struggling Help
#1

I was sober for almost two years. Then I lost my house and things went into a spiral. I want to be sober again, but I don't sleep so I drink. I don't know what to do, rehab is out of the question with the situation I am in. I just need help.

So sorry for your struggles. I can relate. You can start again one day at a time, even 1 hour at a time if need be. Maybe try an online recovery meeting ( AA/ smart recovery/ celebrate recovery/ etc).

If you are like me, you haven't even the willpower to stop drinking. You are probably out of balance in other areas as well, which only exsorbates the need to fight, run or hide.
It doesn't take much willingness to stop this very moment and breathe. Breathe from your belly. Breathe until the stress elevates enough for another inspiration to wiggle it's way up.

Hi Hope- I found this meeting called wim. Women’s international meeting. It runs 24/7 with a new meeting at the top of each hour. It’s helpful for those times you can’t sleep.

I'm so sorry hope. It may take a few days or weeks once you put that poison down to sleep well, but it is soooooo worth it.

I know that agonizing feeling of needing help & the desperation to be sober…the drinking isn’t helping with your sleep or stress …. Think about what got you & kept you sober for 2 years ?

All I can say, being that you're not comfortable with men, is good luck.
