Hi...I'm new here and struggling.
Hi Everyone. I'm been reading posts since I got out of rehab 4 weeks ago but this is my first post. I really struggled tonight as today is the 2 year anniversary of my father's death, but I was able to make myself a cup of tea instead
Night is almost over!

It IS comforting to read everybody else's posts! I read the threads here for 1-2 hrs every night on my tablet in my bed. You could say I go to bed with all the members here every night! I'm relatively new also and welcome

Hi red,
Glad you're here. Dealing with grief was hard after I first got sober and sometimes things that I felt like I'd gotten past were things that I had to reprocess because I never really felt the feelings when I was drinking. It's important to realize that it's ok to feel sad. It won't kill us and we'll survive the feeling-even without a drink.
Stick close and congrats on your sober time!

Welcome Red. Anniversaries are tough. My late hub died 4 years ago Halloween night and I always dread the date. This past Halloween I did the usual...lock myself in my house, lights off, no trick or treaters, and mourned. I didn't drink but I feel like its my duty to be miserable. I'm beginning to see that that isn't the case and he wouldn't want that. Next year? I'm starting anew!
