Yes focusing on your own well being is number 1 and surrounding yourself & communicating with like minded individuals a must. As far as people in your small town being judgmental :fu:during your recovery you and how you feel about yourself should be your only focus. Sometimes people that have never been down this road only see us from there slim perspective and refuse to acknowledge anything other than their own. Friends, family and even lifelong relationships we have developed with others all have to be looked at. Does this person support me? Are they willing to hear me out? Be a shoulder to cry on? If not maybe it’s time to cut those people completely out. If some still want to talk either grow thick skin OR own whatever it is they are trying to use to hurt you. Like yeap I did that, I sure did I made all those mistakes and guess what they made me the badass I am today. Praying for you

Thank you I really needed to hear that sometimes I feel like I’m so alone In this the closest Aa meeting is 50+ miles so I stick to virtual I go to in person meetings about twice a month bc I find I get more out of them than virtual but I’m trying to fight the good fight

You can do this!! I would highly recommend AA, it is a way of connecting to other like-minded people who won't judge you (and eff em if they do), and who understand exactly what you are going through! Praying for you! :pray:t2::heart:

I get it. Am from a very small rural background however live within a big city now. Being physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted I get. My door is always open if you need to just be YOU
