Nobody else is going to start a post, looks like I'll have to talk to myself.

Just hang in there...sounds like the part that could've been the worst is behind you, and you're more prepared than ever for whatever is next.

I've never been to any of those meetings, but I do understand about the constant talk making you miss the substances you were abusing.

I went through similar when I switched to vaping. Everyone I knew either smoked, or wanted to discuss my choice to switch, and I finally had to pretty much isolate myself from everyone for a while.

Maybe you can bring the issue up at the meeting, and ask others how they deal with it?

At the thought of going back to school, assuming I went through a two or four year program, I'd be about 43/45 years old.

If you're in the USA, it's not hard to start your own business. While I'm sure every state is different, an hour on Google will probably turn up everything you need to know, although it might be a bit daunting to read through and sort it out.

$1,000.00 and a single good idea can make you financially stable within a couple of years, and then you can decide what else you want to do -and while that's percolating, go on back to school & when it all starts coming together you'll have a whole array of new options to choose your path from.

make sure all of you can view nsfw posts.

Because you keep cussing, which trips the site's censor.

I donโ€™t have anything worth living for.

I know of a woman who is paralyzed, and has to live hooked to a machine.

Yet she recently fell in love and got married and is looking forward to a lifetime with her husband that will be very different than the lifetime of her past.

As long as you are alive, the possibility that everything you know will change exists. As long as you are alive, you hold the keys to make life whatever you want it to be.

But once you're gone, whatever life you had is all the life you'll ever have, and you will have given up without ever knowing how the story was going to play out, or what plot twists you missed.

I got what I wanted.

I once found an abandoned litter of 13 brand new puppies, and had to bottle feed all of them every two hours for over a month.

We call it "puppy Christmas" and it was one of the hardest things I've ever done.

My family was very supportive, and a LOT of people helped. But a few others said things that really hurt, and I broke off one friendship over it.

Just hang in there; they do grow very quickly, and really do want you to be happy with them, so they start settling down after a few months.

Help.

Just walk away.

You loved him; you probably always will a little bit, but he is gone. Now, nothing you learn about his life will make you feel better, so just stop.

We've all been there; and the only thing that really helps is letting go, taking time to heal, then vowing to live a fantastic life without him.
