Transitional $upport for Abigail

My name is Abigail and I am proud to say that I have been clean and sober for 95 days. This is the longest I have been sober since I was 12 years old. 95 days ago I was given a once in a lifetime opportunity to receive the help that I needed in order to change my path. I've spent this time here in rehabilitation where I have gone through therapy, attended AA and NA meetings, seeking a core group of support and love, and simply finding out who I really am. My life circumstances have fallen short of easy and I have experienced so much in my 20 years on this earth. I'm still attempting to wrap my head around my past while finding the courage to discover a way to live in the present without the physical and mental need to be numb.  I have been unable to cope with my mom's passing while I was still so young and the tragic manner that it happened in is something I have found very hard to accept. I also need to deal with the lack of relationship with my father and other painful things that I experienced as a child and throughout my adulthood. I am also learning life skills! Simple life skills like filling out an application or being in a group setting or even maintaining a schedule of any sort. I am grateful for the opportunity that I have been given here in rehab, however, my scholarship has ended its course. It has been clinically recommended that I transfer from my current treatment facility in to a sober living for a total of one year. I do not feel comfortable or trust myself to be released from rehabilitation at this time, as I have no safe place to go that is free of drugs and alcohol. My desire is to transition to a sober living home where I can continue to surround myself with a positive and sober support system as I continue on this journey. I have been able to build a support system in Costa Mesa where I have attended meetings and bonded with like-minded people who have the same goal as I do, to work through my addiction and stay sober one day at a time. I have spent numerous hours trying to find a job and have not yet given up but have yet to be hired anywhere.  As this is an urgent matter, I am humbly asking for any financial assistance that is able to be gifted me at this time. I will need to pay for rent at the sober living home, food, a bus pass, continuous therapy for past traumas and current self-esteem issues, and other living expenses.  I am trying to get 3 months covered so that I can continue to seek employment under a safe roof. The funds will be in my aunt's name, as she will be helping me with the budgeting. I respectfully ask that if you are able or willing to help in any way I would truly appreciate the kind gesture. I am grateful for each day I have and would like to kindly thank anyone in advance for any donation that they are able to give at this time.
