I can’t take being alone anymore but I’m scared to quit because I’ll still be alone and hurting even worse

I felt so alone for so much of my life. I had only a couple of friends, my parents were my only family, and I just felt so isolated from the rest of the world. I never imagined I would be attending AA meetings in my life, but that is where I discovered belonging, and I can't imagine my life without them now. I met people nearly three years ago who are still in my life and are like family to me. I always encourage others to look for local meetings and support groups. There are so many resources available and the key is finding what you can truly connect with. It was scary, I had absolutely no idea where my life was headed, but along every step of the way I found things I had been missing in my life for so long. I have people I love and care about. I have places to go every single week to be of service to others. There were many moments where I wanted to end it all, but I am so truly thankful to be here today. I have gained so much in the past 3 years alone. It's all thanks to the people who have helped me along the way, and for the constant work I put in. Don't lose hope. You will find others that you connect with and that will lift you up. Keep searching for them.

Have you checked out local 12 step meetings? I felt the same way until I realized I didn’t have to actually be alone if I went to meetings
