Sober 1y 4m. Not really having a hard time with isolation, but I believe is a bad habit of mine build over decades of B.S. Self love is making a difference no doubt. However it feels that something is missing and am aware that I won't find it in this box.

Hey Mike - First off, congrats on 16 months sober! I didn’t find out the importance of self-love until I got to recovery so it’s great you have that going for you. I’ve also learned that isolation can feel safe sometimes because it’s been a habit for so long. So maybe the “something” that is missing is connection which could in form of people, new experiences, or even just stepping out of your comfort zone. I think coming here and making this post is even a good first step in finding that something. After enough searching, the missing piece will come into focus eventually. Just need to have patience and faith

Thanks.
It’s really difficult in this world because so many people drink without ramifications. Drinking was not my vice but if I do it it triggers me to want to use blow.
Everywhere you go you see signs of alcohol , it’s on shows and commercials.
If really does feel like the odds are stacked up against us.
I get the isolation thing. I go to work. Gym and home.
I wish I had a solution for you but I don’t.
But I do get it
