Hello, it’s been going good. I’m still sober. Haven’t relapsed. However this journey is very lonely and depressing 
I believe it’s very hard for me because I picked up and took my life to Houston from Denver. I left my mom.
I left my marriage because it was what was dragging me down and there was no surviving it any longer, and most of all I left my 23-year-old son who is struggling himself with substance-abuse and legal issues.
I have my nine year-old with me so with the feeling of feeling extremely lonely on top of financially struggling and trying to get up on my feet it’s been extremely hard
I understand everybody is struggling and going through similar emotions, but as a human being
I need that person to confide in and to help lift me up and give me positive affirmations
Having another human being in my life would make my life a lot more happier to cope
I have turned my life over to God and I do pray daily, all the time really and I also listen to the Bible all the time and I try and listen to sermons just to keep my mind off of things but I feel very much isolated.
During my healing journey, which has been one year, three months And a few days today since I’ve moved to Houston, I have learned that I have always been isolated and I didn’t really feel these type of emotions because I was always under the influence, but now sitting in my isolation always by myself I am very lonely, Heartbroken, sad and most of all confused about what I’m trying to accomplish.
Thank you so very much for noticing since the last time I’ve posted . I come onto the app all the time. I just haven’t posted in a while.

Thank you for sharing your journey with us, I can only imagine how hard and lonely the road must have been for you. Leaving your 23-year old behind must have been extremely difficult to do 
In terms of loneliness, have you considered joining an abstinence group that is appropriate for your DOC? There are so many in the Houston areas and they are such a help to many people here on the forum. Here are links to a few of them in your area:

I have also previously used the ‘Meeting Guide’ app to find local groups, this can be downloaded from your app store of choice and the Android app is here:
Hope that helps, keep checking in here for support!
