I'm so lost. This is the first time in 26 years that I have ever been alone and it's all due to drugs. I've been sober for a while. Did have a slip up, but I'm still doing somewhat. Okay, I just want to be able. Define a strong partner that will give me something to keep myself on the right track. Then everybody around me just brings me memories of the pain. The mystery that I caused or that was Cos 2 me and I have no idea what to do. But to go use again and that's the last thing that I want

I am in the same boat. I'm on the verge of losing absolutely everything and not using is the only thing keeping things afloat rite now

Keep strong I just think of my kids and granddaughter then the fact if I mess up again I'm gone for life it's helping but not much

I know I'm not, but in a way in my mind. I am being that I've had a wife since I've been 13 years old. This is the first time in 26 years that I've been alone and had to face things by myself.

I think we all hit the pavement Sober! It’s the real test
Pass it and you’ll truly be free.
We were sober but the life principles have been left behind most likely because metaphysically the programs work to draw a good like close. Go right back to 12 steps

I have done my steps just being alone is doing something to me
Anthony, service really helps me when I’m lonely or feel miserable for whatever reasons. Service is love in action. I’m not alone, I have purpose and feel gratitude when I’m doing service. Try it I’m confident you’ll be glad.

I second this. And even if it isn't in service for 12 steps, just getting out there and being of service to your community is a great feeling, too. At the end of the day, we have to be accountable for keeping ourselves on track. Making someone else responsible for your choices always ends in heartbreak.
