How do you combat loneliness?
I posted this question previously, but would like to throw it out again for your “Suggestions”. I hung out with another guy today who is a newcomer (1 month in aa, 1 month sober) and this question of how to deal with loneliness in sobriety came up. Either stay single and deal with it, or fill that void with a new relationship even though you might not be the person your going to be in the near future due to the changes that come with sobriety.
Just like my new sober friend I too have only 38 days sober, and am feeling very lonely. But just like him, I don’t think I really know what I want, and am not sure if dating right now is such a smart thing.
So what’s the best way to deal with this emotional void, and what do you guys think about dating in early sobriety? All responses are welcomed.
