Iāve been sober for a little while now and I still struggle with pointlessness from time to time. Sometimes I just donāt know why Iām here. I feel like I go to work just because thatās what everyone else does. I think the loneliness plays major part in it for me. I donāt feel needed or loved. But I keep reminding myself that Iām choosing to have those thoughts. And if I can choose to have negative thoughts then I can certainly choose positive ones just as easily. It doesnāt always work but itās getting better. Sometimes a meeting or a phone call to my sponsor is a must. Keep your head up! This too shall pass!!

I've certainly been there Lauren and it feels horrible. What people are suggesting to you used to seem too hard for me. Luckily I've finally strung together 18 months sober now and going to meetings. Wish I knew then what I know now. That it's just not that hard. These simple suggestions saved my life...Please don't ever give up

First things first, stay away from people that are a bad influence. Secondly, donāt be hard on yourself, everyday is an opportunity to change, compound your wins. Lastly, youāre not alone and never alone. Ask God for guidance and Trust. I hope you feel better 
I know the feelings. I promise the aches go away.

You can never be pathetic! I to live for hours from my parents! Iām married and live with my wife! Iāve been clean now for a few months and doing well but I too felt like being clean was pointless but whether they wanted me sober or not I had to do it for myselfā it will all work out in the end
