Still no gratification

I guess I'm greatful that I've made it to 8 months today alcohol free. My depression isn't any better. The "company" that scammed me out of all of my money still has it. I'm not even positive it is a scam as I can't pay the $21,000 tax to get my money back to find out. I have nothing left. My bank denied my fraud case as I made the transactions. My job isn't offering enough events for me to work security at to be able to afford rent, come July when my grant runs out from graduating the 90 inpatient rehab facility i checked myself into. I'm single and alone fighting this. So yay I'm still sober but now i have suicidal thoughts. Great trade off. I can never do anything to hurt myself but i never really even thought about it before. I was feeling on top of the world when i graduated. Sober, got my settlement money from being hit and almost killed by a car while riding my bike. Now its gone and i feel worse than i ever have in my life. My life looks completely over and i have to stay sober for it, so not even false escapes. Because I never want to drink again. Itonic how i do something so stupid with money i never had before sober. Never would have done that while i was drinking. i just felt on top of the world and felt better than ever. That's what makes you fail, right...But hey, 8 months sober and won't go back.. that's all that matters, right?

You for this.

You’re 8 months sober and everything else sucks - congratulations you’re not drinking over it!!!!!! God will flip your life for the better when you least expect it - imagine the happy ending - it helps to change your perspective (and yes I know how idiotic that sounds) - just try it

Find another part time job to supplement so you can pay your rent come July. If your current job doesn’t have enough hours for you. Make a decision to do better. What’s past is done move on. You can do this.

Hi, Jeremiah.
I have not checked Loosid in a while.

Congratulations on 8 months of sobriety.
That is huge!

I have over three years…
While have really been struggling with depression lately.

Life events and just feeling as if,
What is the point?
Yes, realities can feel really tough.

I hope that things turn around for each of us.
I have to remind myself that no feeling is final…and that no terrible time in life, lasts forever.
I get it about your work situation, as well.
Meaning, the lack of hours.

I don’t go to meetings.
Periodically, I do.
I am going to try to make some this week…
Because they have helped in the past ( I just found other ways to help keep me sober ).

Again, congratulations on 8 months.
How are you doing right now?
