6 Months 17 Days Later

So just as the title states, I’m currently 6 Months and 17 Days sober today. Everything in my life is starting to really fall in place again, except for one thing. I have this overwhelming feeling of Loneliness. I get really emotional when I even think of that word let alone how I feel about it. I honestly have no idea what to do. It’s weird, when I was using I didn’t feel as lonely but that’s because I was numb to everything due to the drugs I guess. Since being sober I feel like this feeling has slowly continued to build up. I haven’t even kissed a girl in probably longer than 3 years now, 2 years and 6 months because Heroin was my Girlfriend, Finance, Wife & Mistress. The current 6 months is due to, well, honestly I don’t know. I just want to find happiness with someone. & Yes I am happy with myself, but to an extent.

Before I continue to ramble on I’m gonna stop myself. Anyone there to talk?

Or any advise.
Bump.

Definitely start by making some new friends. I know that is hard for me but once that’s established then u are one step closer to finding someone special too. I would love to be your friend if you ever want to talk about anything I am here for you. To vent or talk about life or anything that’s on your mind.

Hi Cody :raising_hand_woman:

Sorry you aren’t feeling great.

Do you have any hobbies or interests that could get you out of your normal routine? Something that may distract you? I’ve heard, as a general rule, people should ideally have 12 months sober time before embarking on new relationships … so this could be a great time for you to continue working on ‘you’.

I see in your profile that you work at a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center helping others. Are there any colleagues you could hang out with?

Sorry I can’t be more helpful. I hope others like @Englishd will chime in.

Wishing you all the best x

Hi and welcome. Congratulations on your sobriety. Have u tried going to any meetings ? There’s always lovely people to make friends with and are on the same journey as ourselves. X
