2 friends relapsed one overdosed and passed one is missing. Ive also been struggling im at 115 days but the holiday depression hit me hard this year being away in treatment and from time to time the sucidal thoughts creep in
Just hang in there Nick, you got it. I’m sorry to hear you’re having such a hard time over the holidays. Just remember things always get better.

Nick this is when you need to stop take a few deep breaths an just slow time down don't do the day or the next hour just the next second that's all we can do sometimes I know that has helped me

Well ones got to out live another, happy it's you. Unfortunate about your friends and I'm sorry for your loss. But maybe you should reach out to a sponsor, utilize your recovery tools because this is when you need them most. Idk about your city but mine is having marathon meetings for Christmas, every hour. Try to find one, even if it's online. You shouldn't be alone, your not alone. Remember to reach out

Nick congrats on the 116! You will get past this, if you choose to.
In 15 years of sobriety I’ve lost many friends to addiction and felt suicidal many times. But it’s all been worth it and I gotta say the great times out way the sh t times!
Are you working the 12 steps with a sponsor?
I’m here if you want to talk.
It’s not easy I’m sure your feelings are all over but your here reaching out that’s the first step to getting back on track I know you’re worried about the people in your life but you have to get yourself together in order to be there for others take it slow and please keep reaching out people care:blush:

Please don't let the thoughts keep you going down that road I understand I tried to kill myself 5 times in August it sucks more then you know and one thing that helps is talking to people you can trust and count on that won't lie to you keep fighting strong good luck
You are so strong to be going through what you’re going through and to still show up it shows that you want this and when a person wants this bad enough to do anything they can to keep it. You’re in the right place, we’re here for you.
