luv, i am lonely also, and i live with a man, he is like my roommate, he is a alcoholic, we do nothing, and im just going to have to make myself enjoy where i am today, until i can make a change. Im taking my shower and just getting out of this house today. Going to meetings helps to not feel so alone, ask around there and see what people are doing. And as far as whitney's funeral yesterday, i watched it myself, and with me being in AA for 2.5 yrs, and seeing how people struggle with there demons on a daily basis, i felt like i knew exactly what she was going thru. our disease of alcohol and drug addiction, does not discriminate. I was comforted by her farewell homecoming, and it is only by the grace of my HP, that iam still sober today.
You mentioned hobbies, what do you like to do? what can you do for yourself today?
Have a attitude of gratitude...

How do you make instant friends? I just don't know how to start my life over from scratch with so many things missing.  Sorry that you are going through a lot. "Easy come, easy go" so instant friendship is not something I go for. The more I gained more friends the more I realized it's not quantity that counts but quality. I gained new and true friendship by not letting it consume me anymore like it used to. I learned to be my own best friend and to be content w/ what comes my way. I enjoy my life and that attracts friends to come along and enjoy me too.  You can start your life over from scratch by letting go and letting God each new day. I've been through a lot so I know HP is the answer. :-) |

I hear you luv! Its tough starting over and making new friends. The ones I have are either married, dead or in a relationship with alcohol. Loneliness sucks, that's for sure! I hope you are doing better this late Sunday afternoon!!!!

luv, when we are in recovery and we start isolating, that is our choice. I had to push myself out the door yesterday in order to get to my meeting, but after i let the meeting, i felt more at peace. Can you find some womens meeting in your area? or just some different meetings? And i not sure why no women are connecting with you, are you reaching out to them? have you called them just to say hello? and iam feeling lonely? iam learning to reach out and let others know when iam hurting. Why are you isolating? what is stopping you from going to meetings? you can still go to meetings, even if your not ready for a sponsor or working the steps, you can still go. it helps to work the steps right away, but it is not a requirement. no one is going to force you to do anything.
Im sorry your feeling lonely again, and thanks for sharing with us. it is baby steps, one foot in front of the other.
keep coming back.
