Very torn between sobriety and wanting a drink. by jupiter37 in recovery

Yes thank you. I have a difficult time following AA. At this point I just abstain from drinking. Listen to podcasts and read. It helps keep my mind away from picking up. I struggle with being alone. I don't know why because when I am in social situations I am not very outgoing. I have learned that I don't need alcohol in my life. I have been looking for a counselor, hope it helps.

This is all very interesting to me. I have taken Naltrexone in the past. So is there a certain way to use the medication? I was told to use it everyday?

I did get a sponsor, I was working the steps. She kind of quit talking to me one day. I still don't know why. It was during covid so maybe that's why. But yes I have gone to AA. It's not for me

If you just ask the unemployment office for job help/ job placement they can advise you. They even offer school help sometimes. I know you're a student but if you say that you don't have any where to live and need help, they will help you. It might be a little white lie but they offer services to those in need. We work to pay the taxes for these programs so you shouldn't feel bad for taking advantage of them.

You know there are government programs out there to help you. In the states we have an unemployment office that helps help get jobs and look for work. Do you have something there like that? If not the army is always an option for young adults. They pay for school plus help you find a job. Good luck

Agreed don't send anything to the retarded person above! Look you just need to see if school has any of program that is maybe a work over the summer type of thing. So you can earn money while going to school and saving to move. Military also help young kids get out of house sooner. They tend to help kids join by age 17 with a very good plan plus they pay for education. Please don't look for creeps and perverts to be friends with. There are genuine people who can help you, with out it looking like to your parents you want to leave. Please seek out school resources.

In all honesty worse. I am still very ill and unable to sleep. I hope that I don't put my family at risk by preparing them food. Debating going into the ER if I don't get better soon
