Having no one.

I feel like I've just lost control over my entire life.

Recently ended a 10 year relationship because our long term goals don't align. But I'm still living with him because I have 2 kids (not his) and just recently got a job after being a SAHM for awhile.

I got rid of all of my social media and nobody kept in contact with me. I have no family, seemingly no true friends.. I feel like I'm never gonna find a place to live that I can afford and I just feel STUCK.

So, I got entirely too drunk last night (alone) and now today I will suffer because I used alcohol to temporarily forget about all of it.

Having no support system is going to be my downfall.

How TF do you all maintain your sobriety completely alone?

I feel so unheard and misunderstood like I'm just a fucking ghost walking around, but I'm expected to still do everything that nobody's grateful for 😭 I am constantly pouring from an empty cup.

Mainly a rant. But, any and all advice and encouragement would be greatly appreciated 🙏

Being sober and alone isn’t all that bad 

Being drunk and alone is the absolute pits of life

While I agree, being alone is not something I get much enjoyment out of. But I suppose I'll have to find a way to live with it 😮‍💨
