I've really been struggling with loneliness. It's nothing like the loneliness I found at the bottom of the bottle, and for that, I'm grateful! But it's still hard. I'm battling cancer, 2.5 years sober, I attend 10+ meetings a week, in the rooms, I feel loved and cared for but when I get home, there i am. Just checking in and being where I'm at for today.

I’m sorry to hear that trinity. Loneliness can definitely be a huge challenge, I feel lonely most evenings after I get home from work. I have conversations with my dog from time to time 
. I feel it’s important to connect with people you can feel comfortable with reaching out to at any point, whether it be text or call. I’m sure I enjoy my parents from time to time cause I hit them up what feels like once a night about a new restaurant to try, or a fun park, or whatever, and just getting that response from them saying “oh that looks fun!” Immediately takes away that feeling of loneliness, or at least lessens it. So get some numbers at a meeting, or find people you can trust on here and start a little thread you can just send fun memes to each other randomly, and call when you need someone to talk to!

I struggle with that as well, but you have your sober family in those rooms and they love you. The bottom of that bottle is the loneliest place I have ever been for sure. Very proud of you for that clean time, I have 28 days today myself. God will send you someone when the time is right, and I pray that he helps you in your battle with cancer as well as the loneliness. Keep your head up, you've got this

Your not alone.. I’m struggling with that exact thing horribly, as well as insecurity and lack of self worth.. I’m praying for you that it’ll pass.. I wish I had an answer to help but I’m searching for a solution myself..

Sending you love and prayers. Congratulations on 2.5 years sober. I have 162 days. I'm also struggling with loneliness. It's hard to meet people these days and have a connection with genuine people
