I’ve been without family and friends for about four years now. I decided to get sober and the rest of them didn’t. Now I’m doing this alone and I really wish I had a mom I can call 😭 it’s been hitting me HARD lately, anyways I just want people to know if you’re doing this without your side of the family you’re not alone🖤 and I’m here to talk 😊

I’m here to talk, getting sober is a flex and I’m proud of you for that!

I went through this with friends (not family) about 5 years ago. It was the most hardest thing but I wanted a life with my now husband and if I hadn’t changed my life I would never of had my 2 beautiful babies. I didn’t loose my family so that must be so tough and hard to get used to so I am sorry you are going through this. It does get easier, it takes time and tbh I’m still trying to get my head around it. But you have to keep telling yourself that you made the right decision in your life and soon you will be so proud of yourself. They are the ones loosing out and you are winning in life.
I don’t know how hard it must be without your family, especially your mum, but I hope things get better for you soon ❤️
