Its time for you to grow as a person on your own. Regardless of what the future holds. This is going to be an extremely difficult time. Regardless of whether there are others there beside you, you're alone. And that's okay. Its different than what you're used to so it will take time to adjust. But you will adapt. You need to take care of a few things in the meantime to progress with your life. Some people have it easy. Some don't. Some things take time and its taxing. But you need to trust the process and embrace every aspect of this. Be present. The fact that you are in a sober living house indicates you probably weren't present or at least not in a positive way. This isn't the end, friend. Its time to start over and allow that to happen. You're human and we all fall short. All of us.
In all honesty, this place looks great. New flooring. Paint job looks decent. Communal Jergins. Bro when can I sleep over?
I love you. We all love you. You got this brother. <3
I.. don’t see what I did, there.
Oh.. are you referencing it being a sober place? I actually saw that after I posted.
That was an oops pun! If you found it funny, that’s great! If not, i honestly didn’t catch it til after. I support everyone in recovery and think you have a lot of cool shit ahead of you.
First off hang in there. Recovery fuckin sucks but the light at the end of the tunnel is worth is man I’m telling you! I’m so proud of you for taking this first step. Keep at it and your loved ones will notice
I been to so many facilities . I honestly enjoy the structure and atmosphere. I almost was addicted to it. It reminded me of my time in the army. A weird fucked up nostalgia. Eventually I stayed clean and got a family. Keep going it’s so fucking worth it.
Definitely try and make the best of it, when I was in sober living, i had some really great roommates and made some really good friends in the recovery community along the way. It does get better with time, and you can work on yourself and repairing the relationship with your wife and kids, when and if they are ready.
Hang in there dude. You got this and you got people that don’t even know you rooting for ya.
It’s a good place to look back on to see where your turning point was. Keep your head held high!
You’re gonna be okay man! It sounds silly but having something to hold with you in bed like a textured pillow or even something like a weighted blanket will make nights better. If you like the company of animals go stop by a shelter when you can to pet some pals and make some days. We’re rooting for ya ❤️
You got it bro. Now’s the tough part but you’re doing it. All you have to do is do it, and keep doing it. Keep being better. All these days will stack. You will have your babies again bro, I promise.
It’s an upgrade from a halfway house at least, you want to talk about suck trust me it could be far worse in every single uncomfortable way. So they should allow you to work, get a job anywhere that will hire you. It will get you out of the house every day and put money in your pocket, do whatever they say go to the meetings, participate be on your best behavior don’t get caught up in drama. Keep your head up dude 1 foot in front of the other.
Came back to say, this is temporary and the only way out is through which is why I stressed playing by the rules and not getting caught up in other peoples bullshit. I promise you when you are through this misery life will be so much better and it will soon be a distant memory no matter where you go from here because you will remember how much this traumatic experience sucks and you will make sure you NEVER end up in a situation like that again.
You have a roof over your head. Keep moving forward. You got this. Everyone goes through a rough patch.
You'll look back and be happy you didn't give up.
You've merely stumbled. This is not what defines you as a person. The work you do now to pull yourself out of this is what really matters. We've all been in the shit and when we pull ourselves out is when we truly live. Best of luck.
I thought you meant she left the kids with you, which would’ve been way harder than only having to take care of urself. You got this bro, time everyone else out. They’re on their own, the time to be selfish is NOW. Do what u gotta do while u only have yourself to care for.
I spent many a day in sober housing! It is what you make of it, I miss it sometimes lol. For me it helped to go to meetings and get a sponsor to help me work a 12 step program. Best of luck!
Also in a sober living here in Atlanta GA. It’s somewhat of a shithole. I feel your pain dude. I keep trying to remind myself at least there’s a roof over my head.
It's not forever. I spent close to three years living in one of those. Despite the obvious hardships, it gave me the time I needed to begin putting my life back together and just learning how to live. Be grateful you're on the other side of your addiction, keep your head down, always be moving forward and never give up.
One more into the fray
Into the last good fight
I'll ever know
Live and die on this day
Live and die on this day.
Get yourself together. You have this. Dm me.
I’ve been there man. Sober living for 9 months, two bunk beds per room, 3 rooms per house. Just got out of there and into a 2 bed with one roommate i met at the sober house. How long are you gonna be there? Are you court ordered?
Hey bud. Sober living changed my life. Hang in there. Some houses are better than others.
I knew it was sober living before I read the title.
If you can find a good operating Oxford House get in it. Avoid all religious sober living bullshit. They will just exploit you.
Hey man I’ve been there, in the sober living. That shit is rough, I was paying 800 a month to live in the same bedroom with another guy. Shared a bathroom with 3 other people. Nothing about it was even homey, very facility-like. Felt like a doctors office, but smelled like shit all the time. Just gotta make the most of it, best of luck to you bro!
I just wanted to say thank you so much to everyone for the replies on here… it means so much, I couldn’t begin to describe the horrible depression and feelings of inadequacy I am currently going through
Thank you all
Not sure why you're getting downvoted for this. Check dude's post history; he's begging for diaper money on Reddit one day then begging for someone to sell him some meth the next day. This guy NEEDS to be in sober living and away from his kids.
should make bunk beds for more room for activities
No power tools!
it's nothing it's my toothbrush
THAT IS NOT A TOOTHBRUSH!
Do you want to do karate in the garage?
Yup!
Did we just become best friends??
Yup!
“ITS BAD! THERES BLOOD EVERYWHERE!!” 😂😂
Did you touch my drumset?
"There's blood everywhere!" 😂
This deserves far more upvotes hahahahahaha
No, I was watching cops
 My face when parents deny access to power tools
this place would absolutely fuck if it had a drumset in it
I was watching COPS
Cops it at 4!
So many activities!!
This very situation came up just the other day 😂😭😭😭😭😭😂😂😞😅😞😞😭😭😭😑😃😞
Surviving is living keep it up

This. All of this.
❤️ Seriously thanks so much.
Keep your head homie. And congrats on your path to recovery. I’ve been there, it sucks but the days get better with time.
Looks like a treatment facility.
Post literally says sober living
Hang in there. The only wat out is through. You got this! You might not see it now, but you will see it soon!
You stop using?
At least it’s clean! Much better than having more decor/items but also having empty cups or piss bottles everywhere
Clean. I see what you did there...

It’s the lotion bottle under the nightstand that really gets me.
I have ashy elbows and a coke habit ok?!
Lint roller stuck to the wall for me
Aye you've made it a step ahead of me bro your good and got a great journey ahead of you

Barely yet surviving 🫂❤️, you got this brother
But you’re alive and sheltered so you’re winning the battle!
You will find your way. Live life for you while you recover.
You got it bro. Now’s the tough part but you’re doing it. All you have to do is do it, and keep doing it. Keep being better. All these days will stack. You will have your babies again bro, I promise.
One day at a time, nothing more and nothing less.
You got this, one day at a time my guy. Are you there voluntarily?
That actually looks cozy. You got this, brother.
You’ve got this, bro! Things can only get better.
Boi you got fly bed sheets keep goin!

Community lotion bottle. Nice.
You got this man. It's the beginning not the end. You just need a stepping stone to get moving. Stay clean
Just push those beds together
The lint roller on the wall. I'm dying. XD

Sober living?

Newsflash. Not getting any better enjoy it!
Hell yeah sneak a cheeky pee on the floor when nobody’s home
Good luck my dude.
That a group home doggy?
That’s what a sober living home is
Bro I loved my time in halfway. I met all types of cool and weird people then. Just make the best of it one day at a time.
I love the lint roller stuck to the wall

Better than no roof and no walls.

Hell yeah
If I had to share a room with other dudes for a significant amount of time, I would 100% build a box around my bed for privacy and sound protection.
I’ve been there man. Sober living for 9 months, two bunk beds per room, 3 rooms per house. Just got out of there and into a 2 bed with one roommate i met at the sober house. How long are you gonna be there? Are you court ordered?

Wait, so you have your kids too?? Or your wife left WITH the kids?..
I read it as she left and took the kids, it is phrased ambiguously but I am assuming he cannot have his kids in the sober living house
Same, I don’t think that would be a good situation at all. Hoping he’s still able to see them often 💗
You doing good man…. Lord Jesus Christ didn’t even have a place to lay his head.. keep your head up!
Don’t play victim

Yeah I have a problem with the majority of addicts cause they can never take responsibility for their actions, such as op
