Why is sobriety so lonely?

Good to hear :blush:

Iโ€™m trying. I hear this advice often. But Iโ€™m an introvert who is holding onto the shame of being a drunk.

That's a good question but I remember how terribly alone I felt when I was drinking and moreso always drunk and I couldn't bring myself to let anyone see me in that state, and I wasn't sure how much I would do something stupid to embarrass myself either, which I had done and all the guilt, shame, and remorse, so hence the isolation and loneliness, I thinking what you do with the loneliness while you're sober, at least there's people, places and things all around you that you can associate with, you have the chance to explore and do some research, my advice is, just try it, it works when you work it.

I used to be ashamed all of the time. Making your resentments, apologies and sharing with another individual are helpful. Go to a meeting and get a list of the female numbers. Having someone you can talk to makes all of the difference. Guess what? They have to help you because it is part of our code.
