I know in recovery it's suggested that we don't get into a relationship.
But I would like to meet someone that we can hug, snuggle, watch movies or just talk and hang out!

Trying 
Is that real emotional loneliness or is it physical lonileness in disguise? I think us addict types have a hard time knowing the difference.

Good question, I feel that it is the emotional connection that I am missing.
I struggle with this too. For me, it’s both emotional and physical. I’ve been sober for a little over 2 years, and honestly, dating creates so much added stress for so many reasons. But I totally understand the need for companionship. I have found that getting a safe, therapeutic massage is very helpful for feeling human connection.

I appreciate your comments, I agree with you on all levels. I didn't even think about applying the 9th step but now that you brought it up it makes sense. Thank you for getting me thinking! But I am a very touchy feely person with everyone! LOL
I can really relate to this post. Have a little time under my belt and have been feeling lonely. I am trying to remind myself daily that focusing on getting myself right will be better in the long run but sometimes it is hard. I wish you the best of luck and appreciate the fact you put this post up. It is nice to know others feel the struggle.
