Recovery
#1

Hello! I am a mother of 3 currently struggling to start her journey as there are many, I mean MANY, factors working against getting help. I miss my children and desperately want to get to know and hold my brand new son born on October 15th. I'm in a power controlling relationship and I know it's abusive yet I still stay despite knowing what's going on. I am led to believe there is something wrong with me for staying. But regardless I remain loyal.

I need a sponsor BADLY. I don't know where exactly to find one either.

Oh, and I have a service/emotional support dog! Which also poses an obstacle to treatment options.

It's nice to meet everyone and actually have a soccer place to go to network with other sober people. Zoom and Skype are BIG now so I can make friends ANYWHERE nowadays. Message me, I'm ALWAYS available to talk and give support where it's needed.

The good news is, you're not special in any way regarding recovery. Your situation isn't unique. I state that because you should know that there are thousands of people dealing with the same or very similar situation as you and they are making it. There is an AA club in Seattle called A new beginning that has a ton of meetings including women's meetings.

Lakewood Freethinkers has zoom meetings every day.

Also look up Sober She Devil's.

Also check out the sober faction of The Satanic Temple.

Finally my opinion FWIW on being "loyal" to an abusive person .. Stop. Get out. Be loyal to you. Your sobriety depends on replacing toxic people with non toxic, non serenity threatening people.
