Being alone sucks!!! But it was a good thing going through treatment. Cuz if any of you have had any counseling they say to take a year off from relationships. I haven't been in a relationship for 8 years accept my addiction.

Prior to sobriety I hated not being in a relationship. I am divorced and we have two children that I adore. Being single always meant getting off of work and coming home to an empty, eerily silent home, full of my kids toys and clothes etc but without my kids.
These days I don't sweat that stuff. I enjoy being single about as much as I dislike it. Lonely, yes. I don't miss having to deal with someone elses problems, drama, etc. I also appreciate the free ti.e to do as I please and not having the distractions. Especially when it comes to me and my relationship with God. It has been able to flourish and I doubt that would have been the case otherwise.
I agree it's hard. But it's worth our sobriety to do
