Hello Kristina
I’m sorry to hear you are struggling. But it’s crazy as I am one of nine boys. When I came to the fellowship, I felt so alone. But then slowly, but surely I got a home group.. I got a sober group of friends. and slowly but surely that grew to a huge community that now I look at as new aunts and uncles new brothers and sisters today I’m truly blessed

I am very happy to hear that for you trying to hang on with the thought in mind that maybe one day again but right now I just have a big pole in my heart where my family once was.

I’m in the same boat. I lost everything and im struggling to find a reason to stay sober.

You've lost much, I am so sorry. I am familiar with great loss so my heart goes out to you. Yes you will have a family again, cling to sobriety like a life raft and it will take you to people and places you've never met or been

Me too
I know we’re supposed to stay sober for myself but if it’s just me I don’t care about my sobriety. My kids are the only reasons I’ve even made it this far

Kids are a great reason to stay sober. You don’t wanna do anything to lose them. Trust me.
You’re absolutely right. They are my only reason
Hang in there and just don’t pick up no matter what. It will get better.

Im new here but I want to say I struggled with losing 3 very close friends within a year.. the grief turned into depression, depression turned into anxiety , anxiety turned into alcohol and anger. For over 10 years I held in the pain. Until I finally started taking about it. The more you talk the better it gets. And now 3 years sober, thanks to celebrate recovery my sanity has returned. Get to a support group and spill it. It will be hard at times. I drove past the building for where I go 6 times back and forth before I pulled in the parking lot for the first time. But one on one human sharing is the best tool to use. There may be tears and emotions but that’s the best tool to heal
At this point, it doesn’t matter if I pick up or not I have no one I could hurt anymore except for myself can’t help but think it will numb this pain
as lonely as it may seem, you still have people that care about you that you probably don’t even realize. I too have struggled with the fact that I’m in this recovery alone. But I go to intensive outpatient therapy along with a couple of 12 step meetings a week and that takes up a lot of my time and helps keep me focused on my sobriety. When we talk about, it’s only going to hurt us, at this point in time that may sound like it is OK but when we see someone going through liver failure because of cirrhosis and they are basically drowning in the liquid in their lungs. That does not sound like a peaceful way to go. It gets better. go for a walk, maybe go to the gym. Attend some AA meetings. I am spending much of my nights watching television when I used to sit around and drink and have my face in my computer. I changed my furniture around, I now sit in a different place, I switch sides of the bed to sleep. Just making changes so I continue to realize I am changing. You are changing too. Allow for the process to work I’m on day 19. Stay strong!!
19 days I’m so proud of you!!! I know it might suck right now. But please don’t give up. A little bit of time without picking up a drink or drug and little by little life starts to change. Keep your head up.
