Nice to meet you in charles group. It will feel like that for a while but I remember how it felt very well and don’t want to go back, just move forward. There are no magic wands but one thing going for you is that you have a job. Regardless of the debts and I still have huge ones, things can improve financially when u next get paid. Did you speak to your brother?
When we pray to God for help and start to get in touch with our higher power, things do happen over time, maybe not immediately but he can transform us from the inside out. This has been my experience. Use all the support you can ge5 Stephen. Early recovery isn’t an easy process but it is worth it. Recoveryis different from abstinence, as you probably know already. It is a process. Hope we speak in groups soon.
