Hi Ben - I'm so sorry your life is where it's at right now. I'm newly sober myself, and have had some really rough days due to finances (or lack thereof). And yeah, sometimes drinking seems like an "answer" just to lift the mood temporarily. You and I both know it won't solve anything, though.
Are you saying that all your misfortunes in the past 6 months are due to getting sober, or is some of it from drinking? It's not quite clear. One thing to consider is whether you may have depression or another underlying issue going on. I know that I have to address those things in order to stay sober.
There's no reason you have to suffer in sobriety. It's one thing to have a bad day, but if you see yourself headed back to drinking, maybe it's time to get more help/support than you have now. You're worth it, Ben. Don't give up on yourself.:ghug3
