I'm so sad,,,, [View all]

Grieving, and lonely. This past year has kicked my ass. My Dad and Grandmother died thirteen days apart this past September. I've been struggeling more with my sobriety since all that started a year ago now. I'm isolating now, and withdrawing from my friends. I still work every day, and seem to take care of my responsibilities, but they are fading. So am I. I worked so hard to get a life back that my family and I could enjoy, after a couple decades of alcholism. And now I don't seem to care. My Dad died with 28 years sober.
