Over 3 years sober and going through a divorce. Seeing my kids less, arguments with ex, going from nice house to apt, not seeing dogs, losing a lot if my stuff. There have been a lot of reasons to get fucked up over the last few months, but i know it would all be much worse if i picked up again. Im grateful for the things ive learned getting sober and for the fellowship assisting with keeping me on track. Drinking never makes things better or easier. Get to meetings, talk to sponsors or friends. Just get through the next 24 hours

Taking things one step and one day at a time is what keeps us going. Things may seem hard right now but as you said drinking won't help your situation. Keep up the good work and if nobody has told you recently... I am proud of you!!

Patrick, I'm sorry things aren't brighter right now. But I'm extremely proud of you for not picking up. Just keep taking it 1 day at a time. I'm so proud of you.

So true. I've continued to encounter new challenges. My worst day insobriety still doesn't compare to my best days in active addiction. See it through. Things change

It’s true, things don’t airways get easier. But I’m confident you are much more capable to work through the problems with your sobriety. I’m over a year into getting divorced. The financial mediation was today and we settled! I am losing a lot of my hard earned money to a spouse that contributed almost nothing so it’s easy to focus on what you’re losing. But happy people don’t get divorces, try to focus on what you might be gaining through this process. It will get easier down the road even if it feels all uphill right now. You’ve got this! In a year I promise you will look back and see how far you’ve come and you’ll be proud of yourself!
