Thankyou for your responses... No I don't have a therapist.

If you've been feeling low and isolated for a while, maybe it might help to raise the subject with your Dr, Liam?

Been their, done that,got the teashirt...but I haven't for some years now and it might be different this time so I will look into some available options... A magic wand would help

Christmas was brutal for me I'm scared to even share it for fear of being judged.

Liam, we aren't here to judge, we're here to support each other. What's going on with you?

Liam, we aren't here to judge you. There are times when I've asked for support and times when I've given it…..and in either situation it has always helped me. We are all here because this is a really hard thing to accomplish, please don't be so hard on yourself.

Dee74

No judgement here Liam - we've all been through the wringer at one time or another, mate.

Welcome! Have you had a chance to try AA meetings yet? Whenever I'm feeling really alone and isolated, I go to a meeting and always feel more connected and content.

Thanks for reaching out in your isolation, Liam. Just hit the 2 month mark myself; understand what you're feeling in many ways.
You're still sober! That's an inspiration.

Liamhope

I relapsed feel disgusted with myself didn't think it would get this horrendous so quickly

2bhappier

welcome! I hope we hear from you a lot. I've found this board to be very supportive.

Dee74

what have you been doing for your recovery Liam?
Do you think maybe you need to do a little more?

I just relapsed over Christmas too. They were right, I started right where I left off and then some. It started with the isolationism. I am trying to sober up again but I too don't want to open up to others...some of the things I've done. I feel like a freak of nature that best be locked away for everyones safety.

Liamhope

The money is running out, thank god I was doing a Whitney, if you catch my drift. Thank you for all your support. But there's not really much anyone can do for me. I got to want to change, I realized that. the clichés disgust me ,especially when there banned about like ,one day at a time or recovery isn't for people who need it but for people who want It .
I suppose that's true if you really believe it to be, but I've seen many people who need it get this, so it's all relative I guess. But it's good to hear I'm not the only one who thinks he should be locked up for the safety society and feeling like a freak of nature...thanks for sharing that gakx you got balls... I get more out of your honesty than some super recovered professional clap trap

Dee74

I suggest the cliches, and your disgust, are an irrelevance, Liam - right now you need help.

There is a lot other people can do for you - if you reach out and ask for their help..

****, Liam, just try if you want to, or don't if you don't. It isn't fair, yeah, get over that crap.

Liamhope

Forgive me for expressing myself I get the sensation that I'm being told off. Did I say something wrong am I breaking any rules. I get that your incharge Dee but to trash my post like that feels aggressive and dogmatic. Your telling me what I already told you? I need help that's blatantly obvious. And fools gold Erm yeah its not fair right ill get over it thanks for that wow!

Liamhope

By the way dee your profile pics actually quite scary.

foolsgold66

I'm sorry if I upset you Liam. It is the same for me as you, you know. Isn't easy, but there is hope if you try.
