If drinking and using were the only two problems that I have in my life right now, it wouldn’t be so hard I believe. But I have so much anxiety and stress from all the other things that is going on in my life that are not drug or alcohol related.. and I can’t afford to speak with a therapist and talk about my emotions and it feels like I’m stuck because I wanna talk about those other things and I just don’t feel like I can in the program.
What about getting a sponsor?
Yes I know how you feel I once feel that way too. But in time as you go through the steps and also attend AA or NA meetings you'll be able to find bits and pieces of your own problems within other people we are basically the same that carry the same scenarios different characters so you are not alone and also if you like to give me a call at 520-632-3522 I'll be happy to listen sometimes telling a complete stranger that has no judgment will be helpful to at least get it off your chest
Found one last night

Talk to them , call them. I'm here to listen if you need. Sometimes it's just a second at a time. You've got this!
Thank you
If you remove the drugs and alcohol, the rest will fall in line. When you’re in a hole, stop digging.
