I’m thankful I found this community- I’ve truly hit bottom and need to talk to someone who can give me some hope. Just had a divorce 2 days ago after 33 years, was separated for 16 months. I’d met a beautiful woman who made me feel amazing, even moved in and that just fell apart. I’m losing my license on Monday, have to sell the house, can’t find an apartment anywhere and I’m ready to try AA but can’t get a meeting. It’s pretty messed up- if anyone can offer support or tell me how to stop beating myself up, maybe give me some hope I’d be thankful. Thank you

Thank you. That’s the worst part of all my recent problems. I can do whatever it takes to satisfy the court, I can handle living in a shelter if I must but it’s being alone that’s making this so hard. I had many years being married but she decided she wasn’t happy and divorced me. My girlfriend that I met after my lengthy separation is amazing and I really felt as though I could get through anything with her but she has so many problems related to family, and it’s made her miserable so she asked me to move out…. and late last night she called me, quite drunk and I had 2 thoughts. I’m glad I won’t wake up with that hangover, but also just hearing her voice meant the world to me. Just really wish things were different, that we’d both stop together and be back as a couple. But yeah, being alone isn’t fun and I’ve always hated it. So thank you for talking to me. I can beat this. I had for over 30 years before the separation got to me and I slipped bad. Take care
