I am stuck in a hotel, for work. I don’t know anyone in the immediate area. Last time I was in a hotel for a training program, I was brutally attacked and SA’d by another guest. Who turned out, lived only 12 minutes away from me. It’s only been ten days, since I’ve been “sober” and I’ve been in this hotel for a week today. I’m so depressed and it’s taking everything in my will not to DoorDash a bottle of tequila to my room. How do you guys handle this? It’s not that I want to drink. I just want to forget.

Welcome to the community 
It’s great you are here and reaching out for support.
This tells me you don’t really want that bottle, and in really glad you posted because this community is full of so many encouraging and supportive people so please stick with us
I’m sorry to read what happened to you 
For me I spent my first 30 days on online zoom meetings just listening, with my camera off. It is so empowering to listen to others and to feel and know I am not alone.
I also read here constantly, and the support everyone gave is the reason I am still sober today.
I’m glad your here with us

Welcome!
Coming here during difficult times is a smart choice. Leaning on others definitely helps us through hard times.
I’m sorry you had such a terrible experience in the past.
You just do; whatever it takes. Sometimes it’s screaming into a pillow, other times its going for a walk. Just do whatever it takes.
