24f. Recently relapsed on 10 months of sobriety. Lost my job on Tuesday (didn’t lose my job due to alcohol. I was totally sober before Tuesday.) and have been drinking since.

Never thought that AA would be helpful but I thought “what else do I have to lose rn?” So I went.

I loved it. It was a women’s group and it was packed. I couldn’t stop crying and all the women were so sweet and supportive. I got my first day of sobriety chip and the big book. Every woman put their phone number in on the first page. SO MANY HUGS! I needed all of them.

I went and got breakfast with a couple of them after and then one bought me dinner to take home and eat later.

I genuinely think this might have saved my life. I know it is only my first meeting and I’ll be 2 days sober today but I don’t have anyone in my life that is like me. Everyone kept telling me to try and only have one drink or that I’m too young to be an alcoholic. These women just get it.

Truly thankful and I’m def going to go through the big book and the steps. Will also try and find a sponsor.

I almost drank this morning and I’m so glad that I didn’t.

If you’re on the fence about going to a meeting, this is me urging you to try it out. Just try one meeting. You don’t have to keep going back, but I think that I will.

Truly thankful for that group of women. This is the first time in my life that I haven’t felt alone.

Hi! 24f and looking for someone nice to talk to. Life has kinda given me a shitty hand and would really benefit from some nice conservation.

You can pick the topic lol I just need some human interaction

24f. Just like the title says. I was fired yesterday for not asking my boss (who literally wasn’t even there because he left early) for permission to go to break.

My last job laughed in my face when I would ask to go on break. They told me, “you’re a grown woman. You don’t need to ask.” My boss had never told me I needed to ask before. I put in my teams status “out on break”.

He blew up my phone the entire time I was on break. I didn’t respond because I was at lunch with a couple of other coworkers and didn’t see his messages until we were driving back to the office. We only stayed out for an hour, we get an hour for lunch. When I came back into the office he messaged me and asked where I was. I said “on break.” He went off on me saying that it was unacceptable to leave without getting his permission. I told my other coworker (who was in the building) that I was going on break and he said “okay.” So I didn’t think it was a big deal. I went at 11am and came back at 11:55.

He came back into the office just to fire me and tell me to pack my stuff up. I was shocked.

My car was in the mechanic so my dad took me to work yesterday. They fired me at 1pm and I had to wait for an hour and a half outside with all of my shit for my dad to pick me up. My boss knew that I didn’t have my car that day because I had told him the day before. I obviously was sobbing and everyone was staring at me through the window.

On top of that I broke my 10 months of sobriety with alcohol and got so drunk. I drank two buzzballs and half a bottle of wine. I was throwing up from 2am-8am.

I feel like the biggest loser in the world.

Edit: First time I’ve ever been fired, and to have it be like that obviously stung more.

24f. 3 years + 4 months nicotine free. Almost 10 months alcohol free. Tomorrow will be 60 days without weed.

Life is kicking my ass right now. I’m depressed and my situation just keeps getting worse. I feel like I can’t have a good day anymore. I’m genuinely thinking about using again. Anything.

I have some people in my life who just don’t get the “sober” thing and are encouraging me to try it again if “I feel like I can’t handle it.”

I know doing anything I gave up again would send me down a bad path. I’ve been trying so hard to restart my life, but old habits die hard. I know I won’t be the same if I use again, but I just feel like what is the point?

Lonely, I feel like a loser, and I’m losing my zest for life I had in early sobriety. What is the point of doing anything?
