Struggling Help
#1

Loneliness is the biggest problem I have my brother passed away recently and I haven't really been a part of my family for a lot of years I got to say goodbye to him but I wasn't the same we weren't in a good place and it was really awkward and so being by myself for the past 30 years has been rough but being sober for the past couple years trying to connect with family again is even harder and Christmas is the worst I have to struggle with it one day at a time

Lana . You're not alone on the one. There are a lot of us, including myself, that are struggling. It seems that we all are. If I had a house big enough I'd have you all over so we can be lonely together and enjoy a meal and fellowship together.

Lana, you’re definitely not alone. Sorry about your brother. Similar situation here with my dad. But I was able to make a living amends and forgive myself.
I made new friends and family here in the programs.
Are you working on the 12 steps with a sponsor?
I still work the 12,, even after 15 years of sobriety.
I’m here if you want to talk

I feel you! I lost my brother a year ago. My brother died of cancer. We got to read his big book together before he passed. It was beautiful and sad. He had 8 years of sobriety. Now I have cancer and it's been so hard. The lonliness I feel can be debilitating at times. But I have found family in the rooms of AA. And for that I am eternally grateful. Some days are harder than others, thank God my feet know where to go today, one day at a time
