This is the first Easter I will spend without my father who passed away last year. My mother died 7 years ago and I have a brother but he pretty much doesn’t give a crap about me. I don’t have many SOBER friends so it kinda sucks. I am not pitying myself, just feeling down. I am going to do my best to not drink.
You had lots of sober time before so you know drinking won’t help anything. Just commit to it, you know you can’t be half assed trying and stay sober.
I know that it’s hard, I lost the most influential person in my life last year right before Easter. The shitty parts of life are always gonna come, that doesn’t mean we need to make our whole life shitty.
Best wishes to you.
I’m so sorry for your losses, Alice. Try to be kind to yourself on Easter and do healthy comforting things for yourself on that day.
Spend Easter with us. Read memes, look at pet pictures and grieve with us. I lost my Dad 3 years ago and spent my first holiday pretty much in the fetal position. Drinking won’t bring him back and it won’t make you forget. I’m sorry you are hurting.
Thank you for your kind words. The weather is great so I’m taking advantage of it by walking a lot. Have a great day everyone
