Definitely overcome the feeling that no one cares. You probably just posted at a lull time on the forum.
I am back on Day 3 after numerous attempts to get and stay sober. I have been on this app since October of 2016. Keep at it. Keep back up. Start over.
And if I may, seek mostly internal validation. You’ve done 157, you can do it again and beyond.
I’m sorry I don’t know where you live but I had to go to sleep over here. OK so you’ve had your drink but it’s never too late to sort our self out. The fact that one person responded is neither here nor there, we are not so special that we are the worlds problem neither is the world our problem, the place we start looking for help is inside us and if you were unlucky enough to get a reply from me it’s bc it was meant to be. I feel a lot of pain in your words so if you want to chat at any time just give me a Hola. Take care and remember today is a new day and can be a fresh start.
Hi Jennifer I’m sorry you had to reset and I’m sorry you’re struggling. I think it’s great you’re looking to therapy and getting help dealing with insecurities and self-doubt, that a wonderful development and sounds to me your relapse helped you get there. So there you go.
Some tough love (you can handle it): you’re setting yourself up for failure with the entitlement. Only one person replied, I deserve better. Translates to my worth depends on how much feedback I get. You’ve probably already figured this out on your own, but I found this helpful in my own sobriety: come away from the entitlement and try to look at what you do have (one person took the time out of their day to respond to you. One person did that. Paul replied.) instead of what you don’t. It makes you feel better, helps you engage and sets things into a healthier perspective.
I’m glad you’re seeming to stay on! This is a great place, lots of good people here. All the best for your journey!
Thank you all for taking the time to put some perspective out. I think therapy will do me a lot of good. I know I’m not entitled to anything I guess I just feel like I’m insignificant sometimes. I don’t have the self confidence a lot of people do. I very much wear my feelings on my shoulders and lock down has been hard (as I’m sure it has been for everyone). Starting over today and will try to work a different angle
