Overcoming Loneliness

Hello,

My feelings of loneliness have gotten much less frequent over the last two years since I quit drinking. However, I still can't quite seem to shake the fact that I feel as though something is 'missing.' It used to be alcohol, then it was my (ex) boyfriend, and now I feel like I have nothing to turn to. Which is obviously a healthier approach, because I shouldn't need a crutch to make me feel less internally lonely. I have basically discovered the root cause of my loneliness, but circumstances won't change so I need to find out how to be at peace with my current situation.

I guess I would just like to hear your stories if you have had a similar experience, and the steps you took to overcome this need to always have something to rely on (in an unhealthy way).

Thanks
