So how does one get sober with so many  stressful events coming at you that are way triggering? I reached out to a lady in aa i was told knew what i was going through. Called twice nothing, left a message a text. Im afraid if I quit cold turkey of anxiety also afraid of meds. Spirally. Lost my companion today because i was honest and going through stuff with my kids. Everything is heavy. Im tired and dont know how to deal.

It helps to have a plan along with a support system of people who have been in your shoes.....My suggestion is to Look up a local AA Beginner's meeting and ask for a sponsor. Someone will volunteer to give you the support you need.

I remember in the beginning.... I was on the phone with my sponsor, daily with him and I never could have made it through those first few months without his constant support.

AA saved my life. It's not the only way, but it's the one that worked for me.. I went through outpatient treatment first called an IOP (Intensive Outpatient Porgram) where attendance at AA meetings was mandatory so I continued going to them on a weekly basis, after I finished the 3 week program.

The best thing you could do right now is make an appointment with your doctor who will evaluate you and discuss treament programs, medications, or both but in the end, it's totally your decision..

God Bless

AA is a great way to find that support. Find a local beginners meeting and ask for a sponser as soon as you get there. He will give you his phone number and be available to you 24/7

Good Luck

Is it wrong to use medical or over the counter medical marijuana to anxiety while quitting?

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
