Where do you go when the so called resourced aren't there.? Where do you go when family is the toxin! And your so called loved once are draining you of what you are trying to become.? I am not a doormat,a piece of a$$ or your fall out!! Where do you go?

I feel this deeply. In recovery, sometimes the hardest part isn’t just staying sober it’s realizing that some of the people or places we thought were “home” aren’t healthy for us anymore. When resources feel far away and family or loved ones are toxic, I remind myself that recovery sometimes means creating new safe spaces. For me, that’s connecting with people who understand the journey people in recovery communities, meetings, or even spaces like Loosid where others truly get it. You’re not a doormat, and you’re definitely not someone’s outlet for their pain or chaos. In recovery, we learn something powerful: boundaries are part of healing. Sometimes the safest place to go is toward people who support your growth and protect your peace. When things get heavy, I turn to:
-
My recovery community
-
Prayer or meditation
-
People who genuinely want to see me healthy
-
Spaces where sobriety is respected
Just remember this: you’re not alone in feeling this way. Many of us in recovery have had to step away from toxic environments to become the person we’re meant to be. Protecting your sobriety and your peace isn’t selfish it’s survival and growth. Keep choosing yourself and your recovery. It’s worth it.
