Struggles with people

My brother text me today " I hate to ask, I know you quit and getting sober, but can you find some for me lol" that ls a hard message to get, I said no I will not… I wanted to be upset but I just kept it simple and straight to point. It’s hard, “friends” hardly talk to me, the man I love, my dad, and now I will not be talking to my brother… I feel really alone but so sad and angry too…

I’m sorry you received that text, you absolutely did the right thing to say no.

Well done for doing that! That must be difficult but you did it! :facepunch: Such challenges makes you stronger for the next one to tackle, that’s the good thing about it. Keep going!

This is gonna sound harsh,

But kinda shitty of Your brother to disrespect your sobriety and your situation by doing that

In early sobriety I felt very alone, and I hated people. I almost felt like I was being told what I can’t do while my friends who were boozing and using could do what they want.

I think your best course of action is to put boundaries in place, for your safety and respect. If they do love you and respect you they will respect your sobriety and your boundaries
