Nope, wrong. That’s your addict voice talking, not your actual self. Your addict voice is loud now because you are in early recovery. Gradually you will grow past it.
That is common. All of us here at Talking Sober, at some point, have felt exactly the same way. Sometimes we describe it in different words but it’s the same feeling.
You feel lonely, desperately lonely, because you’ve dug yourself into the hole of the addiction. In the hole, it seems like you’re alone, because all you see is the sides of the hole.
Your addict voice wants you to stay in the hole, because that’s how it feeds itself, by keeping you isolated and weak.
You climb out of the hole now. You get healthy now. You do this by talking to people who understand. You talk to people here on Talking Sober, and you talk in other recovery communities, like www.AA.org or www.NA.org or one of the ones here:
