No Support at home! I feel trapped and boxed in at home. I can’t talk about my feelings or any of the issues I’m dealing with. Because they won’t understand. However, there is one good thing about where I live, no one drinks alcohol. But I’m not enjoying my life. I take meds for Fibromyalgia and I sometimes take more than prescribed, which worries me. I have been talking to a counselor. She’s the only person who understands what I’m going through. I need to see her more often. I just don’t see a good future. |
What stops you from seeing a good future for yourself? Seems like you deserve one just as much as anyone. Take care of you and definitely talk to your counselor about taking more than prescribed. Hugs. |
Are you stuck at home? If so, any way you can get out of the house and go out and about more; see some different scenery? |
It's quite common that other people don't have a clue what we go through in recovery, especially in early recovery. But, that's okay. You can get through this. I'm glad that you have a counsellor, and you can always come here and post, because we do understand. |

Hi - I don't have that support at home either. My husband is a heavy drinker, (I think alcoholic). Lack of support regarding alcohol at home and with friends is a primary reason (like Nonsensical) that I participate in SR. Folks here understand and are living the sober life with the same trials, tribulations and successes that we are. You may prefer the F2F support of AA. I don't attend AA myself, but I'm finding a huge amount of support here at SR. Normies don't understand. |
