I can identify with this thread. On one hand, my life is full and I am content doing my routine, showing up for life, helping others, and enjoying the simple pleasures of waking up clear-headed, able to get more than the laundry done, and not peeing on myself. On the other, I get pangs of loneliness sometimes and wonder if I "need" someone else in order to complete the package. I also know that being rejected in relationships has been the equivalent of a nuclear bomb, so there's definitely fear there as well.For me, I need to keep broadening my horizons, getting out and meeting people, not sitting home eating chocolates and reading harlequin novels, but I have to remain centered and grounded in my recovery while doing those things. It's definitely ODAAT with this stuff.
