Yesterday was my 58th birthday and I put my daughters through a lot when I was drinking heavily after their mom died. I haven't seen them for along time with going to rehab and then other facilities to get myself back together. Was just hoping for a birthday wish from them but didn't get it. So I'm feeling depressed and thinking thoughts that I shouldn't

I have also really destroyed my relationship w my 2 daughters and have no idea how or what I am supposed to do to try and make it right. There is no handbook. Don't be so hard on yourself. I can tell you I believe you've done the right steps thus far, getting sober and help w the addiction. There's just sooooooooo much more to it than that and Idk either what the rt next thing is to do. If you figure it out, lmk. It's been years and I still haven't gotten that figured out.
Barry, I can’t imagine the pain and grief you’ve experienced! But I can tell you with confidence and certainty that your sobriety is going to improve your life and the lives of your daughters.
I’ve seen folks go through the furthest depths and come to wonderful lives filled with love, joy, peace and deep purpose.
We stay sober no matter what 
I’m sober 17+ years and I’m here for you if you ever want to talk or have any questions.
