Scared to be alone
 

Can't face another night . Please help me cope.

You can stay close to SR. There are always people here, Lila.

People are here and I believe each of us wants you to feel better.

Here for you Lila - don't feel you have to be alone.

Post on here and many will respond.

Thank you

I feel abandoned. Very painful

You are not abandoned, we have got you Lila.

A lot of people here are concerned about you, Lila, including me. You should not feel abandoned, at least by us. Perhaps your family of origin or partners? I have been told by therapists that I have abandonment issues. It definitely keeps me stuck sometimes. But we can't address them unless we remove the substances first, then we can work on them.

The important thing is you're trying.

My PMs are open to anyone who needs to talk.

Time to start digging out. One day, one hour, one minute at a time if necessary.

People from your past, if you can mend things with people someday then good, if not then I guess they are not part of the new plan. The next chapter.

String together a few days sober. You will be starting with a blank sheet of paper. New hobbies, new interests, find out where this road leads.

Maybe for now eat some ice cream and try to find something on you tube to distract you. I'd probably pick something dorky like some history documentary or something on cars or football. Sometimes stand up comedy passes the time. Maybe some AA speakers could inspire you or something like that. For now just try and grind down the time. Get some distance between you and that last drink.
