Whenever I need someone to talk to there’s no one there. Yet I’m always there for everyone.

Sounds like it's time to drop the circle you've got and start fresh with like minded people. It's okay to cut ties with people in your life who only aim to serve their own needs. If you can verify that you're doing more for people who woukdnt even consider your struggles - then it's time to add some distance and find folks more better suited to reciprocate what you're offering.

I actually have been doing this exact plan of action in the past 48 hours. Too many people think I’m here to be their beast of burden and I’m here to live and succeed in my goals.

In sobriety, it's okay to be selfish sometimes. It's a matter of being able to stay centered on your own two feet. When people come along who don't align with you getting stronger, then the only way you can revert is backwards. Be selfish. Distance yourself from self serving folks. They'll eventually find someone else to fill their needs. You gotta be first until you can figure out how to stand on your own two legs

Thank you I needed that. I’ve been away from the recovery community far too long and forgot that I too am entitled to my self care. I believe tomorrow I’m going to focus on my music and plans for the coming month rather then other people’s issues.

Ty. I’ve only been on here a little while. You can always find me at Mashiach Manson on IG if I don’t get back to you here. I hope to hear back from you sometime. God bless
