Well, maybe that was just what I needed to hear then. I get so lonely sometimes, and it feels like I’ll never be able to connect with another human being again. But you did it… So maybe I can too.

Not sure why its back either. But it was helpful to me to read, as lonliness “or attempts to be alone” are my stress points. I really need to work on this and just be able to sit and feel. So picking this post and reading the suggestions and ideas has helped me.
Emma…loneliness is the worst feeling ever. And with being an addict…you feel like almost nothing can fill that hole. Most of the time…only time can heal that feeling. I am 112 days in and I STILL feel that hole there. When im off work and I wanna relax I would usually pop a bar. But now I ENJOY the things I didnt before. Laying in bed, my dogs, television, cleaning my house…normal things. Its the hardest thing but you are not alone. Xoxo
I’m not in this place anymore so I send a message of hope this thread is nearly a yr old I’m happy to say my life isn’t so lonely anymore BC I’ve built a life as I sure didn’t have one before,. meetings service,TS app building relationships with kids family and friends just went on a weekend camperoo AA weekend with yoga meditation and the beach just up the rd I send the message that if we are willing to get outta our comfort zone face our fears with great choices not always easy but it does help fill that void.all the best well done in your clean time
