Having a hard time today. Feel hopeless and just like everything is going bad. What do I do? I need a win… loosing my job made keeping sober hard.

Hey Jonathan. These types of days can be really challenging and there’s no easy answer. All I can say is that I’m glad you’re reaching out for support and staying connected to your community. For me, I try to focus on my body and less on my thoughts when I am in a state of hopelessness. Going on walks, the gym or doing some pampering always helps me.

That is a hard thing to go through, in recovery or not. But you're doing the right thing reaching out and talking about it. The pain will pass and better days will come. I bet you have people, places, and things about yourself that are wins in life. Try thinking about those. They're worth the effort to keeping your sobriety. It'll get better!
