@jessica312885 Oh GAWD I love it. Especially sitting on the back deck with a cup of coffee, bagel and headphones on in silent mode looking out over the Pacific Ocean.

I did at first but after awhile you do get lonely…. Don’t get me wrong I still love some alone time just not all of the time.

The longer I’ve been spending time with myself the calmer and more peaceful my life has become. I miss having someone to talk to sometimes though.

I do

I’m early in my recovery and being alone is my downfall. I have to be with someone all the time so I don’t use. I hope this eases up the longer I’m in recovery.

I'm new in recovery and I am seeking other people who have clean time and experience to chill with or I'm worried I might get bored and fall back into my old habits, ie: my comfort zone. For me I have to totally change my old behaviors right now as I'm just learning how to live life on life's terms
I haven't been clean more than 6 months for over 40 years so I have to do whatever my sponsor tells me if I'm going to ever make it. This is the first time I fully understand the disease concept and I have to be vigilant

Don't get me wrong. I work in a nursing home as an activity professional so I'm definitely social and active at work. But when I'm home I'm like ahhh time to wind down

Moderation good

Do you have a furry friend like a cat or dog?

While I do enjoy company sometimes, I'm more introverted. My most productive times have been my times of solitude. Instead of drinking, I'm accomplishing things.

#22

I definitely like to wind down at the end of my day all by myself listening to :whale2: singing. It is a form of meditation for me as well

Being alone helped me a lot in the beginning but at this point I absolutely hate it anymore it allows the thoughts to become very intrusive
