It gets better. It takes time and work. Stick with it and things will kind of start working out. I know that doesnt probably make a lot of sense now or seem very hopeful. It will one day, just keep moving forward.

Yes it can. It may feel as though a shiiit storm is coming at all once. You l can learn to manage the storms and find sunnier days to regroup and find shelter.

Loneliness and depression are where I lived during active addiction and it was terrible - I feel for you. Can you get to a meeting? If you express the need to talk with someone at a meeting people will almost certainly offer their numbers! Take care of yourself, and reach out anytime here via the chat.

I found when I got sober, I began to see the wreckage of my life, that which I was running away from by driving, and it felt like rock bottom 
People who I thought were my friends, deserted me, because I was no longer fun.
I found, for me, getting to lots of meetings and seeing the same familiar faces at the meetings, I knew who "the winners" were and I injected myself into their conversation. I didn't wait for them to offer. This was truly life or death with me.
It's one day at a time and with the help of my Higher Power, I am sober today.
You got this!!
Those first weeks and months are tough. It probably took years to get there so dont expect an overnight success.
One of my main motivators to never touch alcohol is the memory of how difficult those first days are.
It can get better. It will if you stick with it.
Do what you need to stay sober today. Thats the only goal for now.
Im at 898 days and finally feel like im back in control and I am making a new life.
Stay sober today. Make a plan to stay sober tomorrow. Repeat.
We are here for you!
It doesn't get better exactly, each day will get a little easier because YOU got stronger. You can be at rock bottom, just remember it's a visit not a permanent residence.
Congratulations on your 2 months sober! It’s tuff isn’t it? I’m going through some stuff too. I just recently got 2 months sober. Pretty cool ! But the thing is , it’s 2 months again! 
I always am looking for someone to talk to that is sober and well grounded in their sober. Well there strive to stay sober. That’s what I need in my life. Now and now forever. So you ever feel like you want to talk I’m always on this chat line. Message me if you’d like. Have a nice evening!
Hey Rebecca! I suggest the NewForm app! It has helped me so much in my recovery journey (I have 18 months)! NewForm hosts so many free virtual and in-person events including exercise, art, music, meditation, and recovery focused meetings! I have met so many good people and have made some really great friends through the NewForm app. The opposite of addiction is connection!
The AA fellowship is amazing.
It's a process
Nov 15 2009 so yes it gets better and it gets harder and then it gets better and so on and so on
That’s why you have all of us. We’re here for you. I get it though.
Give yourself time, while you’re meeting people here, maybe start doing things to get to know sober you. Recovery and healing will get excited. Hang in there
Not many people can recover alone. Consider some recovery options and maybe you can find your people. Check out Free recovery in Denver it's an amazing place. Wednesday nights they have a great ca meeting with like 300 people. Lots of options out there. Good luck
Hi Rebecca I know how it feels to be lonely too. I sent you a friend request. Feel free to message me anytime
