Realizing I am longing to be loved unconditionally. The good

Realizing I am longing to be loved unconditionally. The good and the bad. Whether I behave the way they want and even if I don’t…..So much focus on “how I behave” I am resenting right now. 72 days and yes, I am not drinking…but boy it would be nice if the ones closest to me would actually give a hoot about “how I am”?? Cuz I am pretty lousy sometimes…..and sometimes pretty broken….

Hi Gretchen, seems like you are having a rough go of it right now. The one thing I can suggest is to make sober friends, either through here or though some sort of recovery program, because they will check in with you regularly, and they do care. Unfortunately we cannot control the ones around us, however much we would like to. Sending you a hug.

My suggestion would be to love yourself first. When you love yourself, other people loving you becomes less important. You can’t control what others think or feel.
