Eggzactly you get it. Do they come around when they need something from you? Yet, just like you, they thing I'm better than when I don't respond to them.
I'm coming up on 36 years come Christmas day..

Not to be crass .. I always tell them if I wanted to hear an a-hole talk 
behind my back I'd fart. Just say it to my face provided you have the testosternal fortitude to do so.

Thatâs how I feel. Lonely depressed stressed to the max. Canât wait for January. Christmas is just not the same when you child is grown and could care if they see you. But I will fight to stay the course like I have for the last 4+ years.

The same here but not much family support. I donât go with them because of their drinking habits. My sobriety made me like the outcast of the family because they donât understand alcoholism they think come and DONâT DRINK. Nope canât. I just deleted all of them on Facebook, running out of caring.

If you want God to show him so to you. Go out to nature, enjoy a walk by yourself. Somewhere, there is nobody where all there is. Is the sounds and creatures of the world? Make sure to get a Bible, take it with you. Just open it up to what I prepare of falls on and start reading from there. Your answers will be given to you. And you'll see that God has never left your side that he has always been there.You just may have not seen him

When youâre the loneliness and hopeless is usually when God is closed to you. So maybe itâs time to hit those knees and really spend sometime quality time in prayer asking him to reveal opportunities for you to lower that feeling of loneliness. He wonât do it for you you gotta put the work in

We feel lonely and isolated because we feel like we are the only one who feel like this. Listen,,, to other's stories. Pull people aside and ask how they are doing/dealing with this recovery. Maybe you connect with someone and feel so isolated.

I havenât been sober for long but I do agree with on that. You have to disassociate yourself from people that doesnât agree with your decision. My 22 yr old son and my family drinks, smokes thc and curses all the time. They donât respect the fact I gave up all of that.

My daughter did come over yesterday .
As far as the rest of my family nope. Peaceful without them. They did all actually call yesterday but when I hear they are getting together it is an immediate trigger. Sometimes a twing of jealousy too, thatâs how I know I am not ready to be with them.

Congrats on your anniversary yesterday. Look at the community here coming to tell you you're not alone. I understand...it was me and my cats on Christmas. But I reached out to friends and family and that really helped.
