Just can't find any joy today. I feel completely alone

Just can't find any joy today. I feel completely alone. Thought I had friends. That's what I get for thinking. To the point where I'm crying on here to strangers desperately seeking some type of conversation or recogniziton. I feel so freaking pathetic

Feeling the same way. I have a lot to be grateful for but just not today

You’re brave for staying sober so let the pathetic feeling go. Things get much better as time goes on

Those days come and go, we just have to get through them, I remember reciting the serenity prayer over and over, taking one minute at a time. It’s a horrible feeling, I think what can be worse than this? Picking up a drink will make it escalate to the point I have no control. Keep moving forward and fight hard. You got this.

Listen to some empowering affirmations on YouTube! Theres really good I Am ones on there! Also helps me knowing we are just souls having human experiences.
Def get your vibration higher listening to something positive! Ive been where you are! I still go back sometimes to the loneliness and feeling abandoned but we come from love and its all in us already!

Like all things, bad days will pass. It’s not pathetic at all to express how you’re feeling, it’s the best thing you can do for yourself actually!
Have you tried journaling gratitudes? It does wonders for your mental health, even the small things matter, “I made my bed,” “I fed myself today” “I’m alive today,” “I’m sober today” overtime you’ll find more and more. It’s proven to reset your dopamine levels and find joy in the small moments

I understand what you mean. It’s disheartening when we find out people’s true colors. Maybe this journey wants your full attention. Get to know you.
Just know you’re not ‘pathetic’ for reaching out, that’s why we’re here. We care and support each other especially on days like this. When life starts life’in.
Have a good cry, good sleep, spoil yourself, self care and get back up and keep going. You’ll find true friends, they’ll come.

This was a great suggestion.... Everyone's response was but the I ams by satsang moved me thank you

I get it. That’s why I’m trying this app out to see if I can connect with others who can understand the struggles. It’s so hard to find people who don’t just say, “Well, it’s a simple as quitting.”, or something along those lines. Someone who understands there is a lot of battles. I wish the best for you
