On a Tuesday morning my little camper van was stolen containing all of my personal property 
I’m house sitting through Saturday and so this means I’m without a home after that. Fortunately my partner’s Mom is willing to take us in - along with our dog.
Talk about a stressful time! I’ve been in the trenches of battling my strong urge to numb out- to just lose all of my sadness and devastation over this tremendous loss in a bottle of whiskey. I feel so violated. So disheartened by the fact that people out there could be so callous to drive away in what is obviously someone’s tidy little home - it was all that I had. All of my expensive backpacking gear, my bike, my partner’s bike and longboard.. all ripped away like a bandaid.
I’m still sober.
Amy, I’m so sorry to hear about this. I can’t imagine how shocking this is to deal with. Glad you are holding strong.
Hang in there. May take a while but you will get back on your feet.
Gosh, I am so sorry. I’m looking at small RV’s myself and have worried about the same scenario.
Hold strong😕
Whatever you do, stay out of Portland OR if you do. They target them and steal them swiftly here. Auto theft in general is extremely high. They say one car is stolen every 48 minutes on average here.
Sorry your going thru this. Life has its rough times for sure. Hang in there and remember there’s no bad situation that a couple of drinks can’t make worse.
Great advice
Sorry to hear about your camper van.i avoid Portland as much as possible.do you have a picture of your van and I can post it on a couple local sites here in vancouver.this terrible situation could become the start of something great for you.it all depends on how you react to the situation.
That sucks! I am glad you stayed sober. Hope you can in the least get some of your things replaced.
Ughhh… I’m also sorry you are going thru this. I don’t know about you, but sh!t like this always makes me question God. Like wtfck is going on here! Why? Why now? What lesson could there possibly be in this? Hang in there Amy! You can and will get thru this. Maybe that is the lesson? Who knows? One thing for sure I understand now that I didn’t understand before, it’s people and their ill will that are responsible for bad things in the world…not (insert ur God word here). I know for me my higher power is not doing bad sh!t to me for me to learn lessons. Today I love having my HP in my life, and I know he/she/it loves me. Hope this brings you some comfort. Alcohol surely is not the answer. Just knowing substances are not your answer is enough to be grateful for tonight.
So sorry to read that. Man people suck. Glad you are staying sober and positive. Hope they find it.
aw, that is the pits. I’m sorry to hear that. Drinking would just make it worse. Good for you for staying sober! Sometimes in unfortunate situations, I find it helpful to list the things I am grateful for. I’ve even hung up a list on my wall at times when I feel I needed constant reminders. I am sending all the positive vibes your way.
Hey everybody! Great news - after a week of combing the city for our stolen van, we were able to find and recover it yesterday. Sure it’s in rough shape and all of the valuables & sentimental objects that were in it are gone 
Wow I’m exhausted, but still sober 
Yeah! So glad to hear!
