Just wanting to vent

2 and a half years sober, and it's been a struggle for sure. I work full time, helping out my unemployed father, I fight depression/anxiety every day, and my toxic job often makes me feel 100% Alone. But I quit drinking because I didn't want to die. I've got people (very few) in life who appreciate that out of me, and I appreciate them for that support. I lost a lot of friends as an addict. I lost even more when I went clean. This journey opened my eyes to everything I was hiding from when I drank, and what was being hidden from me. I have a long road to go, when it comes to rediscovering what I mean to ME.

I want to say congrats on your sobriety. And I understand completely about the depression/anxiety. I get panic attacks a lot. I also understand how toxic jobs can make things so hard since it’s so much a part of your day and life. But stay strong!
