I am so lonely

I know this time is tough. I know I was always so "numb" that once I began to feel again I was sad, anxious, lonely, on and on the list could go. What I do know is I got through it and SO WILL YOU!! I know it's easier said than done but try to reach out, try to remember the things that used to bring you joy (perhaps a hobby you used to love). Again, easier said than done but please don't let it consume you. Feel free to reach out at ANYTIME! I don't care if it's 4a.m. and you just want to chat. I do not know you but I believe in you. You are taking the first steps to getting your life back. YOU HAVE THIS!! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

If you are able to, get outside and go for a walk while listening to music or a book or podcast. Work on a hobby or project that you have been wanting to do. Reach out to good friends and or family.

I love the sign at the front of the rooms - you are not alone. I often forget to reach out for help and when I do, it seems I’m less alone. -  glad you are on this app. This community has some good recovery. Blessings to you.

Lisa, you are not alone, do you know that loneliness and boredom are the main complaints of people in recovery. I could tell you do something you enjoy, join a gym, go to the library, volunteer in your community, get involved in a support group in your community. Stay busy in a positive way, get outside of yourself and try to keep a positive mindset. Cravings and urges will come if you sit home doing nothing. Get out and do things you enjoy and only you know that.

Cheer up lisa... I'm lonely too ! Sometime I loose myself in things that help pass the day. BUT!!!! One true reality is recovery don't have to be this way. Reach out and share this new reality. When seem lonely you're closer than you realize in loving your self more.
