I'm really sorry you're going through this now, but glad you have your sobriety to hold onto. When I quit, I assumed hard times would be harder. But when the hard times came, I realized abstinence was actually a source of strength. When everything else feels like it's spinning out of control, it's one thing in life that I can actually control. Nothing and no one can take it away from me. It provides a solid, stable place to stand at precisely the time I need it most.

You'll get through this the same way you always have: one step at a time. Take it slow, OK? You will get through this.
