I have read the meaning of what a Torchbearer is but I'm still not exactly sure if I fit into it. I org. thought I was an obsession love addict and I know it's very easy for all of these to overlap somewhere.
I do always feel the 'need' to have someone to think of, and I don't usually forget about the last person I dated until the next one comes around. But I do think it's possible if I gave myself the chance. However I do go back to think about other past relationships if I don't think about the last one. It's only been a few days since my last experience of someone and I often don't know what to focus my thoughts on aside from working on myself. There is a sense of boredom and uncertainty on how to fill that time.
I haven't made a lot of friends here that I feel close to or feel an interest in spending more time with. I don't think they would be the most supportive group for me. And now I feel hesistant to try to meet friends online to meet in person because I don't trust myself to not develop a crush on them (especially since they probably wouldnt be available to me.)
Anyway, any insight would be appreciated!

when i first got sober, i used to say all the time i was bored, b/c i was use to drama and chaos. but it really was not bored, i have some peace and serenity for once in my life. If you can get involved with a local womens support group, 12 meetings in your area, it will help you so much in your recovery. I just spend 16 hours today @ our yearly womens conference, with about 150 women, i was part of the committee, it was so much fun. and you know something all of women are alot alike, we are lonely and just need some friends and others who understand us. Its a wonderful way to live. just stay focused on you, and get healthy, and you want be bored i promise.

What are the meetings like? I guess I'm wondering what age groups go? I am still kind of young and I think I would feel like I'd stick out like a sore thumb if I was the only younger person there. Also it would be great to meet people with similar interests too.

the meetings i go to here in my area it is all ages young and old and we also groups for beginners for newer people. meetings are nice, because you hear all kinds of situations and we all have problems, and we are all just trying to recover and live a healthly life. so they suggest to go to at least 6 meetings, there is all different ages on here so take a positive step in your recovery. you can also work the steps on this forum too. we can do together, what we can do alone. keep coming back. your worth it. keep us posted on how your meetings go.
