Do you ever realize once you get fully sober how alone you can feel at times? I have my family and my son and I'm very lucky to be here but ive lost alot too, my best friend died of a heroin overdose, my husband had a massive heart attack and my fiance died last april from an overdose, and my current ex is still in active addiction really bad. I have zero friends at the moment bc ive distanced myself and cut off every remaining addicti knew. Im a good mom and an excellent daughter ahd sister and aunt , but i do tend to get lonely, i just wish God would send someone to me who would be my equal, my soulmate, my person I can count on truly, but this life is so precious and so beautiful and im so thankful for being her and beating my addiction
I know what you mean. I lost my wife in 2014, and 4 years later lost my gf the day after Christmas so this time of year is especially lonely. It's hard not to have someone close.
True that, I'm also looking for a female puppy that's a sheepadoodle type dog, god just keeps telling me to get a dog and I'm looking everywhere for one but everyone is selling them no one wants to just give one to help someone out and I'm not like tbe " feel sorry for me type" you know but idk I just love animals and its my dream
Hi Jenn
Same boat here. It's weird how they say take a year off from dating during recovery. It feels so counterintuitive in this lonely time. On the flipside I totally get it. Last time I tried to date at 45 days I had to drink for the dates cuz i didn't know any other way. Moving to Tennessee from California in a few months. Maybe we can meetup. Just look to the sober community for awhile.
Thanks for sharing. It might be lonely now but it won’t always be. Meetings more friends as time goes will help fill the void.
Jenn.. know this. You're not alone.
I'm a firm believer that a TRUE friend walks in when others walk out or are asked to leave or escorted out.
I just walked in. My name is Michael.
The promises will come true
Hey, friend me! I'm a good one to talk to. I'm in Houston, but I have a lot of family in Georgia. I'm an artist as well and it would be fun to share my process.
Hi there! I'm jenn, I'm in Newnan GA and I'm 38 and I was on cocaine and fentanyl but I've been sober 5 months, i love makeup, and digital art and photography and writing as well but sure come talk to me!
Hi I'm jenn how are you ?
Lol... I'm good Jenn
This is what I'm going through as well. Dating apps suck, I've found friends at church but not the one. I guess when it's time for that to happen it will. Stay strong!
Great job and your one will come soon
