Alone and lost

So the one person who convinced me to start my journey of sobriety and go into a sober living house at the same planning our lives together after as well for after the program has decided to completely have nothing to do with me. I have noone else in my life as parents are dead and no other family. Feeling lost and alone and trying to not let that be something that would cause me to relapse.

I’m sorry things didn’t work out with that other person, but the most important thing is that you are making improvements on your own life. And honestly, I really believe we have to build within ourselves before we are ready to join our lives with someone else. As long as you stay focused on your sobriety, there will be tons and tons of people people in your future. Best wishes.

I went/am going through heartbreak myself. And I let go of people in my circle because 90% of them were really just “drinking buddies” and also people that didn’t admit to having an issue with alcohol. But we all realize in our own time. It’s tough. I do have my vegan/animal rights community but I haven’t disclosed about my drinking …Just the ADHD community because a lot of us have this issue… It’s a lonely place really. I have my little companion :rabbit: . My bunny Jackies, my little soulmate I’m doing it for her as well… But we find our people . Just try and put yourself out there and you’ll find a new sober community/family. We’re out here and we all need each other since we all want the same outcome and we know what we all go through without judgement. I e lapsed/re-lapsed way too many times but I won’t give up. A place like this helps. Even just reading and sharing… Stay strong. :people_hugging::people_hugging::people_hugging::metal:t2::people_hugging::people_hugging::metal:t2:
