I really want to cry and I don't know what to do, how do I stay strong~~?!


Question: I really want to cry and I don't know what to do, how do I stay strong~~!?
I let go of many people recently because they party too much!. They use drugs and I would just drink when I was with them!. I just joined AA to meet better people and be around positive influences!. My girlfriends have done terrible things to me and they know it!. They called and said they missed me and needed me and that they were sorry for things they did!. I miss them but I am finding it hard to be strong!. They always pushed me to try to get me to sleep with guys and tempt me in other ways, I always said no and when they called they said they missed me helping them, but they never listened to me anyways!. How can I stay strong~~!? Thank you~~!Www@FoodAQ@Com

You are stronger than that!. You don't need AA to meet people unless you have a real problem!. They have so many troubles of their own, that they may not be good candidates for you!. Not that they are bad people by any means!.!.!.but unless you are an alcoholic yourself (which I don't think you are) you really don't know what they're going through!. But I might add that you must be commended for this effort!. All you need for strength is to look at your daughters and know that you've done very well for yourself so far!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You need to call one of your new friends to help you right now!. Perhaps someone that you have met in your AA group!. If your old friends want to be a part of your life, they need to join your new circle of friends and live a different life style!.
Just remember, the bars of full of 'so called friends'!. Are they really your friends or just your drinkin buddies!? No one wants to drink or party alone!.
Stay strong!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Good for you babe! You don't need that crap in your life!. I dropped a "friend" before just for being too negative and complaining all the time!. To achieve success, you need positive things around you!

maybe you could seek your family, and good AA friends!. Trust me, you don't want to be forced into things you don't want to do!. You'll never regret it!. STay strong!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You need to call your sponsor!.!.!.!.that is what they are there for!. :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Call your sponsor and find some new friends!

Those girls aren't really good friends to you and you need to rely on family or the people from AA right now until you meet some nicer ones!

I am very proud of you - you're going in the right direction and just remember you did it for yourself and that is awesome!
You will meet some nice and safer people - they're out there!
In the meantime, look into taking some classes, attend church or get into crafts, knitting, a sport, reading - whatever! A positive activity!. You will be forced to meet other people that way too - hopefully good ones!
Good Luck! You can do it!Www@FoodAQ@Com
