Just checking in to see if you ok, noticed no one had responded to your post.

When things get a bit much at home, I walk the dog, he gives me time alone and is a good listener.

Other times I just go off cleaning the house.

Everyone deals with it differently.

Hope you ok tho.

Thanks for replying ????it just gets overwhelming sometimes .Today was a better day .Not sure how I’d cope if things were bad every day.When things open up again I think I’ll try and find a support group .Thanks for checking I was doing ok

Glad your ok.

This pandemic Hasn’t been great on anyone, specially people who are trying to recover and have no help now due to the pandemic.

Set my partner recovery back losing her social worker before this pandemic.

Now she talks to someone via messenger who’s going through the same thing as her.

I was really worried when the pandemic put a stop to all the recovery meetings. His keyworker only rang once and didn’t stay on long as he said he had lots of people to call.The last 2 weeks one of the leaders from one of the recovery groups started a zoom meeting, so at least it’s better than nothing.

Glad your partner is able to talk to someone on messenger.Hope it’s helping her .

I thought they’d have offered some more support online for people struggling.My husband had his second detox in December ,then the centre shut for 3 weeks for Christmas. Then he had about 8 weeks support and then everything shut again because of the pandemic .

Can’t wait for his groups to start meeting again.
