Hi Wood,

Welcome to the forum. I'm sorry to hear that you and your wife have seperated. Feeling lonely is quite normal. It's terrific that you were able to come here and post instead of giving in to the urge to drink. Please feel free to come here and post anytime about whatever you are feeling. You don't have to be depressed to post here, we like to hear when your feeling good also.

I don't know if it is a permanent seperation you are having, but it will take time to adjust to being on your own. However, loneliness can be a good thing. It can, as it has done tonight, force you to look at yourself. Learning to be alone is also a good thing. Even people who feel very complete within themselves though can still have times of loneliness. You have made a big step tonight in learning how to deal with an uncomfortable situation without using. Each time you do this you will get stronger.

We are all here for you, so keep coming back.
