Hi Hopeless, I just saw your post & wanted to get a "hi" in before you left. I will now finish your post ;-)

Hi David,
You have a lot more sober time than I do so I would like to congratulate you on that if I may. You have found a great place to share with people that have been through some of the same things you are going through.
I have also been feeling hopeless in the last week or so, job situation, partner situation, finances blah blah blah.... even started to let my place go again (what a horrible thing that is ;-( Just started to work on some small spots & get things picked up again.
We need to forgive ourselves, we cant heal if we don't forgive ourselves. Its like picking that scab over & over whenever it starts to heal as bad as that sounds. Do you have family/friends you can turn to right now?
I am sure your AA group would love to see you again.
Please feel free to keep on sharing with us.
Best wishes,
NB
