Feeling Hopeless
It seems my life is one major catastrophe after another.
I really feel at this point going to any length to get sober and have a good life. Get tunnel vision and eat, speak read nothing but sobriety.
I been doing this far too long.
I had an incident a week ago where I had to call the police on someone in my neighborhood for stalking which my life is much more limited now as I live in a very small town and its very easy to run into the same person everyday. I fear a restraining order won't work.
I get my exercise through walking and now I feel limited bc I have to rely on rides to the store to run errands.
My apartment sucks and I live amongst chronic inebriates.
I need to move as soon as possible and my only option is sober housing which requires to go there immediately from a treatment center or after thirty days of continuous sobriety on your own. So I need to be in a strict program on my own or go to treatment.
In a way this incident has really opened up my eyes to the insanity and dysfunction of my life.
I really wanted to come back here with a success story and I'm sorry to say I haven't got one, Yet.
I really hope to be posting one soon.

Welcome back soberella, sorry to hear of all the issues you are dealing with. Perhaps the sober house would acually be a blessing in disguise? None of your other problems will get better until you stop drinking, maybe this is a sign that you need to go "all in" as you suggest?

Yes, a good move and a safer place for you. I've been in your situation. Do whatever you can to be safe, let others know so you have a good support system. It's not good to go through this alone. My best
