Sometimes in life it rains. And right now it's pouring. As the title says, my girlfriend is pregnant (9 weeks today) and I was just laid off on Thursday. Everything is slowly starting to become overwhelming. As I was the main bread winner, there is a lot of stress on me over bills, necessities, and this baby. I've been sober now for 435 days. I don't want to go back to that life, but I find my automatic thoughts returning to drinking to ease the pain. It's scary. Just more venting about everything. I'm not one to share feelings often in person, so I figured I'd try posting to get it out to see if it helps.
