Im new to this app and dont have a large circle that understands the addiction/recovery life.
My best friend(while in active addiction) decided to end her pain and ultimately her life…. Im so confused, angry and in disbelief…. And my mind just keeps wondering. Maybe i can get a few encouraging words from this app.
You are not responsible for anybody actions besides your own.
Never give up I'm struggling tonight as well
Never give up always keep pushing forward you are only responsible for yourself
You’re stronger than your urges. I know it’s hard when you don’t have a circle you can count on but we’re all here for you 
I’m always here if you’d like to chat. I have those days too but the urges will pass, the guilt of giving up is so much worse. Take it from someone who once gave in before trying again. I’m 5 months clean on the 23rd. Let’s do this together

And now you have a community on line to help and support you! It does get better, honestly. I'm so sorry about your friend, I'm sorry she couldn't stay -- you're still here, and you're showing your strength in reaching out, keep reaching, always! Blessings to you.
I am struggling too, I am sick of death. At age 31 my husband died after 5 years of chemo, then my dad, mom, sister
June 4th was my husband birthday and to tell the truth, I got high. But I don't want to live this way anymore
I'm struggling with "emotions " I don't want them
You are strong.
Hang in there, it does get better
That’s what I keep telling myself
Thank you
Same to you! I’m here if you ever need to talk
Thank you! I’m 5 months tomorrow so we are pretty close on our sober dates!
Thank you so much!!! I will text you in just a little bit!
Thank you so much I’m working on getting better at reaching out!
I’m so sorry for all of your losses keep going, you’re strong! If you ever need someone to talk to I’m here!
Your reaching out and not keeping your emotions all to yourself. KOODOS on that. I have lost many friends and also a partner to drug overdoses and yes it hurts but I am grateful that I have been given the gift of life. Nothing on this planet will ever make me go back to the dark place I was in. I'm coming up on 8 months and I've been an addict over 40 years. I'm proud of you for staying clean it's not easy as peop6who haven't been in our shoes understand. Glad you are here with the rest of us. We are our own circle of support. I'm here for you if you ever need to chat.Keep up the good work and I'm sorry for your loss. I'm sure your friend would want you to keep being strong.Hang in there it does get easier.
Hey Megan, thanks for sharing. That's tough for sure. I know you are made specially and wonderfully, and I wish you full recovery for the loss of your friend, and all other matters.
Thanks so much! And congratulations on 8 months!
