I want to be sober again. I went one year without alcohol and relapsed. I feel like s***. Im tired of hiding it. Im gaining weight. Not sleeping good. My family doesnt get it. I have no friends. I feel so lonely…I gotta kick this, I know I can do this!

Britt, sorry alcohol has got you down, it's a tough poison for sure. You can get back today, and experience the healing that our bodies can do when we stop poisoning them.

I know it can be tough. We have to leave shame behind and focus on our hope. A book that helped me that I'm reading again is Allen Carr's quit drinking without willpower. It makes it easy to quit; my only caution is that it's easy to forget and drink again, so staying in a program and helping others is what I will use to remember how alcohol never helped me, and that by putting it down I help myself and others.

Thank you Joseph. Speaking this into existence!! Recovery is so important to me. However it can get extremely lonely
You may be lonely but not alone. BE willing to get yourself into action. WE will not work through all our problems in one day or one week or one month or one year. Give yourself time to work through things

If you look up Annie Grace & her program then you will never feel alone again. I borrowed her 2 books from the library for free. The 1st one is called This Naked Mind. The 2nd one is called The Alcohol Experiment. They were both VERY enlightening for me!!! Then she has a podcast & blog. She answers reader’s questions for free on YouTube. She has has an app that I downloaded on my phone called This Naked Mind Companion app which is free. You will get support there. She also has a program which is not free called The PATH which is totally worth the money!!! You get so much help … like 90 coaching calls a week & community support where you can make life long friends:relaxed: This author, Annie Grace will help you get rid of your false beliefs surrounding alcohol. It’s all about forgiving yourself & showing yourself compassion & Grace. Check it out!! You CAN beat this disease!!!. Good luck!
