I recently moved to Arizona as an active drinker. Long story short I spent all my money on booze and clubs etc. I had no money to pay the rent and had no where to go but my moms shack in the middle of Florida “bumble” area I am a city boy used to a lot of people around and entertainment/sports. My friend called me while I was dying in Arizona and booked me a flight to my moms place. I’m 27 and have a 3 year old daughter in Connecticut. My car died in Arizona and now i feel trapped in Florida with my mom and her pill addicted boyfriend who is having seizures from withdrawal. I have no place else to go…I am
8 days clean off everything including nicotine cold turkey. I’m working out like crazy getting myself strong again. I am grateful I’m
Alive and have a roof over my head but this is a tough situation to deal with mentally. I feel like a loser who has failed completely at life and I don’t know where to go from here. I cannot move back to Connecticut until I get a car and even then it’s too expensive to rent there. I miss my kid…I know this is the best place for me but it’s hard to say I want this. This isn’t my first go round on the sober train either…I’m looking into careers and just thinking of the future and how fast I can get home to my daughter…but I know I’m not ready.

i know that feeling man. u can turn it around. dont judge yourself, give urself credit for what uve accomplished so far and think of every sober second as a victory. everyone starts at the bottom
Wow rough go. Hang in there and just know things can only get better if you keep yourself sober and never look back. Be happy that you are realizing this at 28 and not at the age of much older. Take this opportunity to learn and change your life you are still young and can turn it all around with time and committment. I wish I had done that when I was 28 but Im 33 now and just deciding to finally end it. Dont make the same mistake. Save yourself another who knows how many years of messed up life with drugs and drinking and change now.
