My 8 days sober changed today with the death of a friend. She was one of my 5 lifelong friends. Had some wine in the frig and just now trying to finish it off so that tomorrow will be another day one. I have no friends here and just read from others with friends. I consider this my friend network. Just head strong while I finish off this wine and drown my sorrows. I don’t have friends that understand and I guess I need to ask for some here.

I’m so sorry to hear about your friend.
So sorry about your friend Jam, sending you a big hug and some peace and love. You don’t have to finish the wine if you don’t want to, you can pour it out and start now. In my experience, loss with alcohol is more chaotic than loss with sobriety. Either way, I hope you find some peace tonight.

I'm sorry for your loss. No judgment. Tomorrow is a new day. Hugs
So sorry for your loss. Coping with death is so hard. I’m with Jenn⬆️. You can 86 the wine sooner if you so choose.
That hurts bad. I still hurt from one of my biggest losses. He meant so much to me it hurt my soul deeply when he died. You can't let this ruin you though. You have tonight then jump back on the wagon and grieve him if you can. I instead destroyed myself and my life you don't want to do that. You got to fight for yourself because you are worth it. I am so sorry you have to go through that pain and so early in sobriety
Greave the loss of your friend be good to yourself. Don’t pile on with negative self talk. When you are ready quit again.
