I have no idea what I'm doing

I have no idea what I'm doing.

Because of my alcohol consumption, my former fiancee and I are technically broken up. I have a sponsor as of yesterday, but I don't have a home meeting yet. Am I correct in inferring this is a Christian forum/site? Or am I wrong? That's what I was looking for, but I haven't seen anything definitive yet. I'm scared. I'm lonely. And I don't know what to do right now. No one except my sponsor and the people I barely know at AA meetings seem to really care about my emotions - and I mean REALLY care. Not even my family, excepting my dad, who is an alcoholic. Yet am I to blame as well? Aren't I just being so ungrateful?

I don't know what to do? I don't know where to start.

Thank you.

This forum is a General forum. There is a non-secular one further down the page. It doesn't really matter where you start provided you start with the right motives. And it sounds like you have started in a good place. Best of luck on your journey.

This is a forum for anyone who is recovering using a method of their choice. You will find lots of ideas here from a variety of people.

You can start here by talking about your situation as you just did. Many of us here come here for support because it's really hard for others to understand what we are going through. We do understand!

Welcome to SR. Many here (myself included) call God and Jesus Christ our higher power. For me, this journey has helped me reconnect with God on so many levels.

God bless and I wish you the best.

Emotions & feelings change, others are concerned, but emotions and feelings can be a roller coaster in early sobriety.

Work through steps 4-9

Things can change for ya

AA is spiritual, not religious, but it also works for those who have a religion in their lives.

It's the action of working the steps where we can change our perceptions and we can start to heal.

Sounds like you are off to a good start...Keep going to meetings...Find one you like and make it your homegroup...Let your sponsor guide you through the steps...Tell him you're ready...Those people you barely know will become friends....I have two priests in my homegroup...That should tell you something. You're doing great...Keep coming back and don't pick up the first drink!
