Hi, my name is Ashley and while I can't relate to all the reasons to your loss of relationships I can definitely relate to the relationship difficulties. I'm sorry you're going through this. It feels painful and lonely and of course, we, as trauma survivors always want to point the finger...

Thank you SO much to everyone here for your support. I have 5 days sober now and even though I HATE what I'm doing I have really exhausted a lot if not all of my resources. I just tell myself it's only for now. I keep it safe as I can and I know God will show me the right way. I'm kind of...
