I need advice!!!!
okay so i got out of rehab like 2 weeks ago or so and tonight i talked to one of my friends and he is with all the people we met at rehab and they are going to meetings and all that and i feel so alone....they are having a great time and they are there for each other and i feel like i have no one....i can't even go to meetings by myself because unfortunately i am staying with some people and they don't know i was in rehab....i just don't know what to do....i am really depressed and need some help!!!

Ditto...why add the extra burden of keeping a secret? I'm sure the people you're staying with will respect you for continuing in your recovery. It beats relapsing. What would they say then? Go to the meeings with your friends and if they ask where you going, tell them. At least they'll know you won't be getting into trouble. Good luck...

There is an old saying, "We are only as sick as our secrets." The number one principle in any solid progam of recovery is honesty. And, absolutely, go to the meetings! If you don't, you could be setting yourself up to fail! Hang in there, and keep posting.

to me when i feel like i have no one i get to a meeting! and then i realize i'm really not alone, everyone there is just like me. for me when i'm in a meeting that is the one place in my early sobriety that i feel the safest and most comfort. when i go i put myself out there, like i'm telling on myself, then in turn i feel like by doing this so much has been lifted off me just to be able to say it. keep sharing about it

I'm new to this cyber-space chat thingy, but I'm not new to A/A. Go to meetings, get a "Big Book" (and read it, get a sponsor, and be "HONEST" with yourself. Plus, believe that there "REALLY" is a Higher power. And you're not alone anymore.

NA meetings Toni,
We live very close and i can pick u up for meetings, you dont have to say your going to a meeting, you can say we're going for coffee. I suggest you to make meetings and you will meet stong women and thats how you get a support group and a sponsor. Once you start making meetings on a regular basis, you will feel a part of, and you will get the support you need .
let me know what u want to do
