Sobriety is worth it

Honestly struggling a lot with suicidal ideation and having a lot of trouble in my household as I’m actively working on sobriety and on new medication and my mood is very low and my roommate thinks it’s always directed at him. I’m trying to snap out of it but easier said then done. It’s hostile and awkward and it sucks and I know I’m a big part of the fucking problem. My roommate is still actively using which also doesn’t help. Any suggestions would be helpful

My wife struggles with this and has been in this situation at our past household
Here she is
First of your not the problem i lived in a situation gust like you said and obviously they have there own issues that they can not accept quite yet
I can only say to you is keep your distance work on yourself not others because if you put in all that work on the ones that aren’t quite ready to accept the help it will burn you out faster
And for the bad thoughts they will never go away but it will get easier over time
And when you have thoughts like that surround your self with loved ones like the ones that you can trust explain what you are feeling so they in some way can help you
Believe me when i say it will not be easy but in a way it is freeing when you talk about it because then you will feel a lot better then you did and then it will teach you that you are actually are not alone in your own mind
Ok its matt again

I’m going to group therapy tonight because of the same stuff. Keep yourself busy, and try to rephrase your thoughts in a positive way and things will get better. Keeping a journal and daily meditation really helps.

I’m in a small town in NS Canada. I was looking for info on AA meetings, and other than address and time of meeting there was no other info.
It also stated
closed
discussion
I’m not sure what that means or if I can just show up.
Any insights? I think I’d like to attend something so I don’t feel so isolated trying to do this.

Thank you. I’ll see if I can find any contact info to ask but otherwise I’ll show up at next meeting and see what’s what.

Open meetings are available to anyone interested in Alcoholics Anonymous’s program of recovery from alcoholism. Nonalcoholics may attend open meetings as observers. Closed meetings are for A.A. members only or for those who have a drinking problem and “have a desire to stop drinking.”

Thanks so much for this advice it really did help me get through @Noshame @Heiler and not do anything rash. Just breathe and let the thoughts pass. A walk outside definitely helped too. Thanks again!
