Feeling Alone

I have never felt so alone in my life. Nights and weekends are the worst.. I don’t know what to do and how to cope. Does anyone else feel this pain?

I can relate! Nights can be hard for me too. I've found going to meetings or talking with other sober people helps a lot. I try to plan my days so I have something going on in the evenings so I'm not spending a lot of time at home by myself. Even if it's just going for a walk or cooking dinner - having something planned to keep me busy has helped :slight_smile: you are not alone!

Hang in there my friend, it’s not easy but it’s a necessary part of sobriety. I enjoyed the aloneness bc I was a big social drinker. In the early stages I mainly worked and spent waking hours in the gym. As I was settling in to sobriety, I began to find positive distractions such as hiking and extended weekend getaways. I made sure I steered clear of any functions that had alcohol until I was fully ready to be around it. Try to look up some sober groups in your area, maybe they’ve got weekly activities scheduled.

Almost 7 months sober and I am having such a hard time with this lately

Get out to meetings and meet lots of people.:dromedary_camel:

Yeah, like Dave said, get out to meetings. Easy peasy.

Look on line for different programs .home work.:dromedary_camel:
