This is my first time trying this app. I start seeing a sobriety therapist this coming up Tuesday. I was just looking for some kind of outlet, I have a hard time being alone and sometimes I just want to talk to someone to get thru the rough patches. I don’t want to bother my family, and friends don’t understand, they don’t even ask how I’m doing with alcohol.

Hey Tasha, welcome to the group, I remember not long after I got out of rehab a “So called friend” jokingly said I heard you quit?! I looked at him, smiled and said what?! I didn’t quit, I changed Everything!!!! :blush:
I also had a “real friend who sent me this with a message saying how proud he was and understood why I haven’t been around the sports bar we all hung at?,,,,

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you're trying to stay clean and you keep going back and hanging out with old friends, it's probably not going to work. Old keys don't open new doors!

Hey Tasha, definitely understand the friends and family not getting it. Hard to explain to them they will never understand and thats ok. New to this app and love it so far. Keeps me busy at night when im sitting idol.

Yes, I have a long history of doing stupid things late AT NIGHT. So if I can interact with other people in recoveryTHEN (when there are no in-person mettings), that helps me stay clean!

Hey, wanna be friends?

Welcome... although I love it here on the loosid app, I dont comment as much as I should. You have the courage to say exactly how I feel. Family and friends just don't truly understand and it makes me feel sad and alone. But I feel safe here and you inspire me. Thankyou

I am having a hard time getting pass that SAM thing and codes. My anger is rising not knowing how to use this site. Just going in circles
