Have you tried going to meetings or anything? What specifically is wrong Today?

I’m just so lonely and depressed. Life is pretty terrible- I feel isolated and all I wanna do is drink. It’s not fun

I’m sorry you’re feeling that way- have you tried to take a walk or do you like nature? Have you been attending any meetings?

Hey Sara, glad you’re here- have you considered going to treatment or any meetings near you to help build a Support network near you? I couldn’t do it by myself

What I do is whenever I want a drink is that I think about how horrible was to get sober again

#13

Stay strong,drinking is just a way for us to hide out of reality

Learn to love again. You don't have to hate. Figure out how you can serve your local police station. Maybe order them pizza :pizza: one day.

Hi, Sara. Congrats on Day 1. :partying_face::partying_face: I'm so very proud of you.

I hate you're depressed. Do you know what's causing your depression? If so, tackle it.

Make sure you get enough sleep at night, eat mood boosting foods, and take care of yourself. I challenge you to practice self-care at least 3 times a day.

I'm so glad you are here. :two_hearts:

Get to a meeting. Don't be shy- introduce yourself to a few people. Host a Zoom meeting with your family.

Jackie84462 try to get to a meeting today if you can or call someone anyone, go for a walk anything to break that thinking process. We are all on the same journey of recovery and it is even harder in these challenging times. You can do this we all have faith in you.
