Mx - Living alone has been a huge adjustment for me. I'm still working at it.
I've been divorced for years, but my younger son is away at college and my older son was just sent to prison in September for probation violations. Finding myself entirely alone for the first time in 30 years, sent me over the edge and helped me find my bottom with alcohol. I am learning, like you are
how to fill my life on my own. Right now it's all AA and work. I am branching out a bit. I have gone to breakfast and lunch with other AA members. Hard to reach out, but I've done it and enjoyed it when I get over the shyness.
I would like to figure out some interests of mine, but I'm drawing a blank most of the time. I come here, read, post and reach out to others. That makes me feel less alone too. I like what Nonny started to write about the differences between alone and lonely.
I'm afraid that I have no suggestions for you, but I wanted to post to let you know I'm in the same boat.
