Hello, it’s been going good. I’m still sober. Haven’t relapsed. However this journey is very lonely and depressing :sob:
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 so much for the links. I am going to try my best to get out and look into these
with me having my nine-year-old and Not having any support here with me in Houston it’s kind of hard to get out.

I do attend In The Rooms app at times I would really love to find some type of group to go to without it being virtual, but I do have two jobs one full-time and a part-time job so finding time right now is so hard, but I am willing to try and just so I can get my sanity on the right track. I greatly appreciate all of the resources that you were providing right now. :100::100:

I have not found a home church yet. But I’m looking for a person who can be a supportive partner and friend. Doesn’t have to be religious.

I will be more engaged for sure :smiley::smiley:

Hey Tiff, happy to see you’re using in the rooms for now until you can find time for in person meetings. I used that platform during covid lockdown and found some very supportive ladies at the women only meetings. In person meetings are definitely easier to build strong connections. I attend ladies only meetings in person too and made a ton of friends that get together regularly outside of the rooms. That meeting guide app Dirk posted above is always being updated so I recommend searching meetings in your area.

Ok. Thank you for the info and support. It’s good to know those groups and apps really work:
I just dabbled in them but I will be more assertive and get out there more.
