While you may feel alone, the reality is you’re truly not alone. Loneliness is a feeling. We can be surrounded by people and still feel lonely. I label my loneliness as being “disconnected”. I need to do more than just be around people, I have to make an effort to connect with people. I find in recovery the easiest place to get connected is in meetings. It doesn’t automatically happen. I have to have the courage to speak up and be vulnerable. I need to let people in. This takes practice and time. The program has also taught me to connect with a higher power. In the beginning it felt like I was a kid with a make believe friend. However, now I can sit alone and feel connected to the universe. As we start a new year, I suggest you begin the process of getting connected. Getting connected to your people (others in recovery) is a great place to start! FYI- I talk a lot of smack on here, but I still feel lonely at times

Hit a meeting, every effing hour if you need. You are not alone.
I go to meeting almost everyday. It is better then it was. But I still want to meet someone.
I am working on it . But being alone is tuff.
