As soon as my husband passed 3 weeks ago everyone dumped me. Not one of his friends or their wives have even contacted me. Sorry, 1 guy did and said he understands how i feel because his grandpa died … lol. Im like are people whacked? Im drinking again. I’ve called detox and a rehab centre. Just waiting. But im so dang sad. My husband thought his friends were nice people and would be there for me. They’re not and aren’t. I have no friends cause i have Agoraphobia. I can barely leave my home , except to get alcohol. Im so sad and tired of being alone.

One of the hardest things in recovery is feeling alone because you are starting a new life, starting from scratch. Im on the same boat right now. Heavily involved in AA so that i can get the tools i need to finally feel good on my own. I guess what im trying to say is youre not alone in your loneliness. Without sobriety though, we will never get to feel good all by ourselves. Good wishes, i hope you get to rehab, its the best fighting chance to a new start.

Same here. After my husband died at 51 most of our couple friends came to the service then I didn't hear or see them again. Very painful. Some were friends since we were teenagers. I almost drank myself to death. Got help got sober got therapy and realized most people don't know what to do or say and we become a sad memory to them.. it's hard to put yourself out there and meet new people but WE MUST.
Praying for you

I'm sorry for your loss Chandra. Getting into rehab sounds like a good idea. Stay active in your recovery after that. Get some sober support and force yourself to get out to some meetings. I think this will give you strength and confidence to maintain your sobriety
