To anyone else who is in recovery, please help. I have 5 months sober today and am ready to throw in the towel. I guess you could say I have a case of the f**k its. I met an amazing guy this past week...or at least a guy who I thought was amazing,and we had an incredible time... and now he is completely blowing me off. I am do deeply hurt that I can't handle the pain. I just want to numb out and disappear. This is the story of my life. I don't know what to do. Everything inside of me wants to self-destruct and get wasted, but I know that if I do that I will just hate myself that much more when I wake up tomorrow. The only other thing I can think to do is try to sleep. I don't want to call anyone else in the program and I already went to a meeting today. Please help me. I am on the edge, about to jump off.

my father is a recovering alcoholic, and every time he wanted to take another drink he would just think about the serenity prayer

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
