Guys im not sure who reads this or not but today i am struggling really bad. My roommate of 2 years moved out today. He is also my best friend since 15 or so years old. It was him and his dog that moved in. Well i just got home from helping him move about an hour away and he left his dog (who i love more than life itself) here while we moved intil he came back to take me home and pick his dog up. I ised to love being alone and isolated. But these last 2 years have brought many adventures. Well i just watched Lansas ( the dog ) hop into the car to leave and the reality of being alone again and never being able to hang out with my best friend and kansas set in. I am absolutely bawling my eyes out and trying to figure out how to deal with this. All of it just hit me and i am so beyond sad
Those feelings are raw, and as a sober person, are extra strong. Feelings of grief are completely normal and valid right now. Reaching out here is a great step in experiencing & processing the feeling, so you can move into the next feelings. Find a meeting on zoom and participate as much as you feel comfortable. Remember this will pass. Do you have a sponsor or a sober friend to reach out to?
At times change is not good. Hang tough my friend.
Try an activity to take your mind off of it. Go bowling, read a book, etc
Can you find a zoom meeting? You really need to connect with someone right now.
I’m feeling your pain it’s sad when things change people we care about move on and we can’t understand why we have to feel this way it’s uncomfortable but listen to me it will get better you have to believe it and do things to make it happen you can do this it’s gonna pass be proud of yourself you have come so far don’t stop now 
You’ve had a lot of great memories with them, and it’s gonna be tough to let go of that daily connection. As time goes on it’ll get better and you’ll get stronger. You’re never fully alone you have all of us. Hang in there, k?
Did you say they moved an hour away?
Maybe you could visit them.
In the meantime think about making some new friends and maybe rescuing a dog from the pound. Might help you feel better?
Oh yeah I have several sober friends. I just haven't reached out yet
Yeah I plan on it coming this Monday after work. Not much goes on Sundays here where I live. But yeah I definitely plan on finding something
I am hanging on as tight as I can brotha.i feel alot better this morning than I did yesterday
See I'm not sure how that works I'm new to this stuff and didn't even know there were zoom meetings lol. How do I find one? Is it free?
Yeah and I know I'll get over it soon.i just don't like the current feelings hahaha
James, I had to move out of a home I shared with a best friend who I had been friends with since I was 12 (17 years), unfortunately I’m not on good terms with them. From the way it sounds your friend just moved out and it is creating a challenge for you. Now that your friend moved out and a little further away, you’ll want to just take the time and dedication the friendship deserves (time and dedication a sober person can offer), and make plans to see each other. They’re not gone, the situation just evolved and you have to grow with it. It will be okay, it’s just our mindset that is letting you see this as finite. It’s not.
Go to some meetings. Do not isolate!! Not sure if you have a sponsor but if you do lean on him or her and the program
Sorry for your situation.
Best thing is to get up. Get dressed and go to a A.A. meeting.
A actual in person A.A. meeting. Zoom is not going to cut it. Whenever you’re lonely, get to a meeting. Works every time for me.
