Brand new here - sober for just under a day. Need to talk to someone, someone who isn’t there to tell me “it’s okay” … “it’ll get better” I need someone who understands the dark place I’m in and who feels the dread of actually facing the issues I’ve been avoiding for years. I just need … anyone who wants to chat. Idk how this place works but I’m interested in anyone that can help me kill a few hours and avoid relapsing for even just tonight. Can I even do this.

You absolutely can do this. Everyone here has had a day one and we’ve all made it through. Talk it out, we’re here.

How ya doin @Kkayy? What time is it? You got breakfast coming up? I love breakfast. Eggs and toast with butter is my fave. Also black coffee with banana. It’s weird but the sweetness of the banana goes perfectly with the bitterness of the coffee

I have to be honest. It sounds like you want some to baby you out of the choices you made. The reality is no one can do the work for you. So no, it will not be okay unless you do the work to make it okay.
If you aren’t willing to do the work and be apart of saving your own life, why should someone else?
Completely understand. Not sure I am the best person to be communicating with you because I am right where you are, so much so that all I dare to write is that you are not alone and we are in your corner…

Welcome, @Kkayy . Glad you found us. Please read around here. Plenty of support to be found. We all have our dark places and fears. maybe you can try not to worry about all the things you’ve been avoiding, and just for now, focus on just today. Or even just this hour. Know that you are definitely not alone. Sending you lots of love and strength.
