I don't anyone's going to get all Chuck Norris on you Christi - sounds like you've been through a lot lately.
At least you're back here. That shows a willingness to change
I'm not sure what you were doing last time for your recovery... but can you think of things to add to it this time?
Sometimes the smallest changes can turn ripples into huge waves of change

Hi christi, it's Sunday morning in UK so, nope, not tired.
Sorry to hear you lost your home and your job. Pleased you can go to your dads.
Pick yourself up and start again, it's not easy but you've started the first step and visited here.
Lots of ideas and experience for you to glean from people's experiences. Take care.

Glad you made it back back to this safe place.
Hard to see sometimes when the our world seems to be grumbling around us, but most of the time what appears to be negative brings something positive.
Regroup at your dads, and do begin again. Rebuild your life from the ground up. Build a solid foundation based on sobriety and the rest will follow. Saying it will be easy would be non-sense, but saying it's possible and worth it reasonable and true.
Take life by the horns and be relentless, put your chin up, get back up, we are with you, we are many.

Welcome back, christimc.
Congratulations on making your way back to a place that will support you, and on finding the line again that will pull you to safety.
Just take one step at a ticket right now. Don't look at the past - look at your future in small, manageable bites. It will be okay, even if you're not so sure right now.
Good luck.

welcome back christimc
glad to see you came right back here. Maybe the move to dad's is a good thing? A place of support, like here. Don't beat yourself up, what's done is done and now you have a chance to start all over. What new things will you do this time? Like Dee said, the smallest things can make the biggest impact overall.
*hugs*

Welcome back Christi. Glad to hear you have a safe place to stay to work on this.
As far as advice, I'd also ask what you've tried so far in previous attempts. There are many ways to go about this, but all involve a lot of hard work and dedication. SR is a great place to learn about all the different ways, and find support, but the most important thing is for you to take an active role. And you can do this if you truly want it enough.

I assure you most friends on SR have relapsed many times before the final willingness was developed to change for good.
Glad your back. Sobriety is a progression - but, I had to get to that point of not playing around any more - period. It took awhile for me to understand the disease is an obsession of the mind and I simply cannot pick up that first drink which leads to an unnatural craving for alcoholics - and leads to alcoholism
Always remember, when we take the Alcohol out of Alcoholic, we still have ic(k). That is the part that truly needs work!
Peace
