Struggling Help
#1

Not feeling like the best version of myself today. It was tough. Sometimes i feel like what’s the point I have already lost so much, and continue to struggle with the addiction. I completely shut down emotionally and though i got many things done that i have put off, still feels very sad to me that i am stuck in this place of addiction and have been for decades. Going back even one more time i could get stuck for another lifetime.

First of good job on letting others know you are struggling ! That is a wonderful win to add to your sobriety journey, It takes time for your brain to realize hey time to heal you will feel like your brains uncomfortable and that's normal ! Try going for a walk , meditation or chatting with us ... you have my support I've been through this as well it's worth it ! All the love and best to you :heart:

It’s never too late to get sober.
The elevator is always going down when we’re in our disease. Remember it can stop at any floor. It can always be worse. It doesn’t have to be.

I heard that Calista. Just scratching the surface. This recovery is like an onion. So many layers. I know can’t stop and ignore that my eyes have been opened, It can never go back to the way it was.

Your welcome. One alcoholic talking to another alcoholic. That’s how it works.
I credit Harry M. He told me and many others that at meetings. It’s true.

Them drugs have nothing new to offer you I promise that....just find some things you are grateful for and have faith that God has a plan for you and you can have sunshine with no rain it will get better it's either a lesson or a blessing and your blessing is coming soon as you learn the lesson gods trying to teach ya hang in there God's always on time.
