I hear ya, girl. I crawled into bed a few hours ago to read and fell asleep. Got up and ate something for dinner and will take my dogs out and probably go back to bed. Sometimes that's all we can do. Toughing it out sucks, but it makes us stronger.
I hope tomorrow is a better day for you. Know that you are loved and you have value as a human being no matter what the voices of self-doubt tell you. xoxo

There's AA telephone conference meetings. Just enter aa telephone meetings" in your browser and u will get the list. Guess you'll have to figure out the time difference. Maybe they have them in canada too. Btw when I start feeling like people don't like me I think about what I do like about my self, no matter how small. I also now know everybody is not going to like me and its ok. I just been learning this stuff since starting group counseling a year ago. It was hard implementing what iv been learning but its getting better aand better the more I try it. You will be ok, just don't let your thoughts drive u to a drink.
This is totally normal, stay strong . The alcohol becomes a friend, replaces people. Now without alcohol your missing it, like a love or close friend. We become co-dependent with it. We will always be here for you! Try to find a good movie to change the focus or something good to eat . It's super hard though and most times we just have to ride it out. Tomorrow morning you should feel better knowing you didnt drink. Stay strong, it gets soo much better

Canadian winters suck balls ! I too have been very very down these past few days. I am trying to " fake it till I make it " . I literally spent all day in my pj ' s yesterday, and only dressed for a meeting...and even then was so anti social. Cried on my way there, and on my way home. I am so so proud of your sobriety. You are doing well. I have to remind myself that sometimes life just sucks ,many sometimes for no reason...and drinking will make it so so much worse.
Mrrryah, i know what u are going thru. It's taken every fibre of my being not to drink the last few weeks. I used to love this time of year. But for the last 10 years or so, the holiday season became an excuse, a license to go on a bender. Dark Canadian winters compound the feeling of loneliness and isolation. Keep on SR. I just started AA recently but I still have to deal with sleepless nights alone. Open 24/7 here though!
