Staying sober during times of crisis

After about 2 years sober, i lost my job, my business, my boyfriend, my friendships, my house, my possessions, my family, and my mind (i went to a mental hospital because i couldnt take all of the loss) i had no support during it but i DID not pick up a drink. Im still dealing with the aftermath and utilizing AA these days.

I am still not fully there from all the loss & trauma, but im hanging in there one day at a time. It can be extremely painful sometimes to do it alone, but sobriety is a personal journey no matter what happens in life.

I held onto my integrity throughout it all and i believe that is the main reason i am still sober.

The only person looking back at me when i look in the mirror is myself. I can still see my own reflection and find myself beautiful inside and out :slight_smile:
