Profile Information

About Me:
I am 21 years old originally from Burlington, Vermont. I am currently living in Cottonwood Heights, Utah. I came out here for inpatient treatment and ended up transitioning into sober living. My life has become a blank slate and I am trying to figure out things as I go. I suffer from substance abuse, depression, and anxiety that has been getting increasingly worse. I've been sober for 5 months now. However, my disease is outside in the parking lot doing push ups. Everyday is a struggle. I love listening to music and just recently I started getting into more spiritual practices such as mediumship, crystals, acupuncture, meditation and energy healing.
About my Loss:
I lost my girlfriend of 4 months to a heroin overdose. She was only 19 years old. She was from Wilmington, Delaware and came out to Utah for treatment. She had about 6 months clean and used only 2-3 times, and the last time killed her. She was the most beautiful, intelligent, witty, person I have ever met, Although we were only in each other's lives for a short while, the amount of things she taught me and the time we spent together was the best in my entire life. We knew one another so well that we could just look at each other and know what the other was thinking. All my future plans had Emily in them and now I am trying to rewire my future as well as deal with being newly sober. She passed December 22nd, 2016. The past few months have been extremely hard. The last time I saw her, paramedics were wheeling her out of her apartment on a stretcher. That is a sight that is burned into my memory, and comes back to haunt me quite frequently. This is my first time dealing with the loss of anyone in my life, and specifically someone as close to me as Emily was. I don't really know where to go from here so I've decided to start looking online and going communities to see if I can get any relief out of them.

"GriefShare is a church based support group. They do have meetings online, but the usual format is a group of people experiencing a loss getting together weekly to watch videos (13 weeks total) about grief and loss. After the video, we talk about the…"
