I love the support that meetings provide, but after a long day, with everything life is throwing at me, I struggle with loneliness…
Going through recovery and divorce hurts, and this would be the time I would normally drink. It take so much of my strength to sit in these feelings

Ugg! Yes, it sucks!! I am 12 months sober and also going through divorce. The divorce is my choice, but it is still filled with way more emotions than I expected. Do you have any other community? I love the Chats that are available with the Recovery Elevator groups and you can join from home!
I don’t have other community. We moved from out of state 18 months ago and I work from home, so I have a very limited support system.
I am glad you found this app. I do also recommend Recovery Elevator. They have a podcast. If you like the vibe you could consider signing up for their online community. There are in person get together a too.
I have also been looking for local events that sound fun and going to meet new people. I have tried a few new things I never would have before and it has been a lot of fun. Anything where drinking is not one of the main focuses.

That can be tough but you know the drinking is just going to make it worse. I had to stop escaping and instead began digging into my emotions through meditation and other practices… I was able to let so much out through these and it helped a ton. I put together an email with some resources that I’ve sent some personal close friends of mine that are going through their own struggle and it’s helped them. Feel free to reach out and I don’t mind forwarding it to you. Stay strong!

Can you join any other groups? Seems like there would be something going on where you live. I used to do yoga after work and loved that community. Now I work from home and like you feel isolated. Anyway, look for a meet up or go to some events in your local community. And volunteer for a cause you believe in. Maybe you'll meet someone.
