I’m not doing too well. But I’m so grateful you reached out. I feel so lonely so often, I can’t believe anyone actually cares, I don’t know how to react.
Give me a few minutes… I’m crying right now

Thank you… I’m trying to organize my thoughts right now. I’m honestly a pretty emotional person, and alcohol loosenes the walls that I keep myself within. There’s so much I want to talk about now.

Hey Friend — Take your time in organizing your thoughts (have you tried using the journal portion of the TS Site?) That may help writing out your journey . Do know that alcohol does not offer any solutions (it is just a mere illusion). You are stronger and healthier without it.
Write out your thoughts on the journal and share with us when you are ready. We are all here for you and wish you a well in your recovery.

@Starlight14 Hello Kelly, I’m doing ok, thank you for asking. I did go through a depressing period that lasted about 3 weeks. No idea what caused it but I lost all motivation to do anything. Usually I would have drank my way out of it but as I’m still a live-in client in a high support unit that was 100% out of the question. I got through it and feel almost back to normal. I’m on day 158 now.
It actually made me feel better seeing that you were asking about me, so thanks again

Oh that makes me feel good, that was my intention…we are all in this together remember. I hear you, we all get times like that i think, rough with the smooth man. Heres a question for you…do u think if you werent where you are youd have drank? If the answer is a possible yes then maybe try working on some new stratagies for when you feel like that, us alcoholics are hard wired to go straight for the drink at bad times even good times so the more sober go to comforts or solutions youve got the better, i hope your feeling proud of yourself for all those days youve racked up…your doing amazing and im proud of you

Thank you
I’m not sure if I would have had a drink. The Doc asked me if I would drink when I eventually get my own place and I said ‘No…but I could,’ he said when I don’t add a ‘but’ I’m halfway there.
We have a full weekly time table of groups and activities that are mandatory. We discuss all sorts of strategies. It was difficult at first as I’m a bit of a loner and feel uncomfortable in group environments. It must be working though as this is the longest I’ve been sober in 24 years.

When i first got sober my mother took my car keys off me and my friend took charge of my money so for that first week i had no way of being able to drink…i realised that the only person that could stop me drinking was me it was my responsibility only not theirs so i made that decision for me and took charge…i got my key and my money back and i havent drank since because i choose not to not because i cant for whatever reason but because i choose it

Just posted a super long post about everything thats been going on. I relasped after almost having 1 month clean… thank you for checking on me, i shouldnt have stayed away this long, the guilt has definitely been hell.

Oh sweetheart - i’m sorry that you relapsed but hopefully you can find a learning tip from it - what caused it, how to navigate differently etc.
The guilt is a bitch and tries to convince you that you shouldn’t reach out for help or possibly that you are not worthy of help – this is NOT the case – you deserve the best in a addiction free life. Good to see you back (i will check out your post). I do hope to see you around more and working on your recovery! much love friend - we are stronger together

Thank you, i definitely want to get back on the right track. I dont like feeling like this. I thought i could do it myself and i have too much pride to ask for help. I get in my head a lot thinking im going to be a burden to family, friends, anyone if i ask for help because everyone has their own shit to deal with. Ive completely gone down hill fast and its just now hitting me…
This is rock bottom…
