I relapsed this weekend. it was 2 weeks and i just did it and it breaks my heart, now iām soreā¦ have a scratched up face and bad anxiety from all the horrible events that happened last night including fighting my best friend. I want to stop so bad, itās tearing my life apartā¦ what are your guys opinions on this, i have deleted the friends and blocked them, i told everyone i know not to invite/mention it to me because itās a touchy subject for meā¦ what else can i do.

Sorry you are suffering girl, sounds like you had a really tough time. Do you think youāre done with it yet? What can you do that you didnāt do before last weekend to keep you sober?
Telling friends not to invite you to drinking events, is that what you are saying? If so, thatās a good idea in early sobriety. Or if you get invited, donāt go until you are firmer in your sobriety.

so much more. i would highly recommend seeking out meetings. there are virtual meetings on In The Rooms, or go to in person. work the steps, get a sponsor. change your life. good luck!

thank you, i am a single mother so my sons dad taking him for the weekends really takes a toll on me tbh. i think maybe just asking for him to see him more during the weekdays and keeping myself busy would help but feeling like i loose all my āfriendsā when iām sober

Yeah you might lose some friends. But can you afford to keep them if their company makes you want to drink?
Maybe use your free time to establish a meeting routine? Spend time on here? Reconnect with yourself, as drunks we avoid ourselves and forget who we are.
Wishing you all the best.

turns out now Iām clean and sober I donāt really have friends bc the only thing we had in common was getting shit faced. Iāve gained so much more on the inside that I can communicate with any random person I meet and hold a polite meaningful conversation, family life is better, people at work suddenly arenāt all idiots and my time alone is either relaxing or productive. My friends are still high drunk and in denial, some arenāt even in denial they are openly miserable and can only see the negitive. I remember that feeling

Iām so sorry to hear about your troubles. I found that Dharma Recovery helped me quite a bit. Tons of online meetings. You can do this! Youāll be at two weeks again in no time.

Actually a few still are but the difference is they no longer have to be my problem. When I was the centre of the universe everyone was either with me or against me, you were with me as long as you agreed with everything I said and if you were against me it was some conspiracy to ruin my life.
