forty-something, female, suddenly widowed, 4 years sober (22.03.21). this is my alt account for recovery and 'janey' isn't my real name.

Including the last 12 months, in which my husband died. #RecoveryPosse

@crowther_sue I don't know, to support the family? It doesn't necessarily mean it was an unsafe situation.

[Janey @SoberJaney]

@crowther_sue Why should the child have been in care? His father was looking after him.

[Janey @SoberJaney]

@briansteed27 She's trying too hard.

[Janey @SoberJaney]

@Boilerboi Thanks for sharing your experience. This is what I'm thinking too. I hope I can stay strong.

[Janey @SoberJaney]

Today was the funeral of my beloved husband of 20 years. One of the last things he told me was 'I'm proud of you'. I'm still sober. I intend to continue making him proud. #RecoveryPosse

@KMOoceanGIRL Thank you for your words and sharing your experience. It's helpful to know I'm not alone. I'm sorry for your loss, too.

[Janey @SoberJaney]

@Nightrangergirl Hi Heidi. It's not easy at all, is it. Sounds like maybe seeking some help could be good? Sorry that some people here have been less than helpful.

[Janey @SoberJaney]

@TaurtsHanvere @FitFounder Not necessarily. And please remember that 'they' are struggling human beings. Some of us have worked damn hard to quit drinking.

[Janey @SoberJaney]

@FitFounder Absolutely. I'm fact, in asking myself this question, I realised I'd crossed that invisible line from heavy drinking to dependency.

[Janey @SoberJaney]

@hopefully_sober Thank you, that's kind. He's still in hospital. He isn't recovering well. It has been the hardest time of my life.

[Janey @SoberJaney]

@LodroNorbu Hold on to all the progress you made. It's not wasted. Sending solidarity.

[Janey @SoberJaney]

@Jeangenie00 your bio states you worked for the NHS, so you of all people should know that people can and do die from natural causes every single day. Shame on you for your awful tweet.

[Janey @SoberJaney]

@sober_laddi Great choice 💪

[Janey @SoberJaney]

@hopefully_sober Sounds like you handled it really well.

[Janey @SoberJaney]

@UnashamedAlc I love recycling day now. No guilt. No confronting evidence.

[Janey @SoberJaney]

@Soberistas I finally accepted that trying and failing to moderate was a sign of addiction. So I gave it up completely. It was the only way.

[Janey @SoberJaney]

@shansoup Congratulations ❤️

[Janey @SoberJaney]

@hopefully_sober I realised I was an addict when I tried and failed to moderate.
