Class of July 2016 Support Thread Part 3
Hey Invisible Danger,
I don't have any friends, either. It's been a problem for me in the past few months, trying to get sober and not having any "Face to Face" support. The support here on SR, especially in this July thread, is awesome. But, honestly it can still get lonesome. I think it's pretty common to begin sobriety with no friends. I think one of the reasons I've stayed single most of my adult life is because I wouldn't want anyone who would want me, especially when I'm drinking.
Today, I am loving myself. There are moments when it feels false, part of me says, "Oh, get off it, you know you hate yourself". But I'm not listening.
I'm sorry you drank, but don't let that make things worse by beating yourself up and feeling like you've lost. We only lose if we give up.
Big hugs to you Invisible! You're in good company here.

Do you have close friends you could call next time just to talk? I don't have good friends where I live either (just one) but my best friends are always a phone call away, or my Mom or sister. Sometimes just hearing how someone else is doing can get us out of our own head.
Drink lots of water and get some rest tonight. Tomorrow is a brand new day. Will you be alone again tomorrow?
Sorry late in replying to this been really busy today. Yes we used to drink together he is showing any signs of wanting to give up.
