The holidays are always rough. My active addiction had cost me my relationship with my kids. This time of year is always rough. I tried to attend extra meetings and talk to my sponsor and pray even harder through these months but sometimes it's overwhelming and isolate. I know isolations bad but sometimes I just want to stay in my bed under my blanket and cry.
Man I feel you. Destroyed relationships are the hardest part of recovery for me and many others. I sincerely hope you can rebuild those relationships at some point in the future. Hang in there.

Stephen, I'm sorry. Keep praying, attending meetings, and talking with your sponsor. Are there local AA events you can attend to help you through this holiday season?

Yes there are local things going on. There's a lot of recovery in this town I'm in. And that's my plan. I actually volunteered today giving gifts to kids whose parents are in recovery. It helps giving back. Thank you for you kind words.
Sorry to hear about your troubles. Thank you and God bless you.
