There’s only one way to go from here and that’s UP. Prove to yourself that your stronger than your addiction. Don’t let this cause you to give up! Hugs my friend

It’s going to be okay. I have been where you are. I went into rehab and I’m now living in a sober home. There are a lot of organizations that are willing to help with sober living, finances and legal help to get you back on your feet. And once you are and you can work on yourself you’ll be better for it. Your children will be better for it. But you have to get better first. Let me know if there’s anything that I can do for you. Just reach back out and keep your head up. There is help if you want it, take it with open arms. Trust and believe in yourself. You can do this.

Call the treatment center you graduated from and ask if you can go back.

Sorry you’re struggling pal.
I’ll ask you what someone asked me when I lost everything due to my drinking…
Are you done yet?

Are you done? I’ve been where you are except no home also. It can and will get worse if you dont stop digging. Look at this as the last time you start over. Family, kids,… all that can be worked out but we have to do the work. My wife walked away…well tbh kicked me out. It took losing everything to realize what I had. Im grateful I still have a relationship with my daughter. I haven’t drank in a little over 2 years. Life is not beyond my wildest dreams…but I dont wake up sick needing to drink anymore and I’m happy. Have a plan and follow through. Embrace the suck and learn from it.

When I lost everything it gave me only recovery to focus on. I wanted to die, but my HP had other plans. I lost my job, my housing, my car, my friends, food, etc. I had 2 choices. Rehab or death, and I guess I wasn’t quite ready to die. This time 4 years ago I was in a bad place and getting lower. Today I’m deciding which farm to take my kids to for apple picking. My biggest concern is if they take card or only cash.
