Hello & welcome Get to as many meetings as possible, find a sponsor, and work the steps. I know what it's like to struggle with all the unmanageability, but the only way I dug myself out was to find a home group, and to get active. One day at a time. I hope you find some peace. Take care, you are NOT ALONE
Struggling now with addiction, lost my father last year, I moved him in when he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, I had a very hard time taking care of hams and the stress led me back to an addiction, I was sober from this demon for 18 years, found my wife doing it and gave in after months of trying to get her to stop. I still managed to take care of my Dad and work 45 hours a week. He passed away with me near his side. a month later my wife moved out, and now going through a divorce and losing my home to pay the wife off, she moved away with a "friend" and left me with my 2 kids, 13 and 15. 2007 was the worse year of my life, 2008 is not good either. I still struggle with this addiction, I'm alone with no help and trying my best to take care of my kids and hold onto a very expensive home that’s been for sale for 2 years, the stress is unbelievable. I don’t struggle day to day, its hour to hour... found this site after reading about Tatum O’Neal, she dated my cousin at one time in her teens, and we are the same age. I thought its about time I tried to see if anyone will listen. I lost hope completely last year, my kids are the only reason I'm still here, I'm trying so hard to be positive, I need my house to sell so bad so I can move away from some of the financial problems and lower my stresses and start enjoying life, again. I had a good life, I do want it back but I seem to be stuck in neutral, just dead and not moving.
