I was listening to the radio yesterday and they touched on why a lot of Americans feel lonely…. I was like so it’s not just a sobriety thing? :laughing: looks like we are all feeling alone …. They blamed it on being glued to your phone, the pandemic etc which I feel is part of the problem. Throw in sobriety isolation which for a lot of us we struggle with.

Yes. I live across the country from my family and hometown. Now trying to stay sober in a whole different state, different ppl, different culture etc... I've never felt so small and alone. I'm just hoping that good things come from this. I'm tired of being sicken tired.

For the most part we all do. If it's not having a hard time it is being alone individually. Sometimes it's one or the other.
However my friends don't fret. It does get better. You just have to get through it (whatever it is that you're going through) to get to the other side.
No need to be overwhelmed about it. You can do this. Just remember the motto from the "No Matter What" club"....
No Matter What I will not drink..
No Matter What he/she is not worth losing my sobriety over..
No Matter What....

Beautiful thing about the 12 step program, we may feel alone but are not alone.

We are here with you in spirit. Deep breath in. Loud sigh out.

This too shall pass :heart:❤‍🩹

Yes. But in the loneliness I find faith. When I feel most alone, I talk with god!

That sucks being away from family and a familiar place. But it could also be an adventure and opportunity to learn new things. Sending positivity your way. :heart:

Sorry to hear- I literally know the feeling but hope you remained strong- you got this!

Im sorry. It truly sucks! If you ever need an ear, I’m here :heart:.

Probably a bit a both.

Absolutely :frowning:

Loneliness can difficult to contend with, being alone is a skill,l some people are better at it than others, this is your area. You can do anything you set your mind to.
