when i was drinkin, there were times i would get lonely so id drag my but to the bar....only to go sit in the corner and not want nayone to bother me.

when i was gettin sober, being by myself was scary. as time went on, i learned how to be by myself and be good with it. learned that if i cant be happy, peaceful, and serene by myself, no amount of people around me was gonna help.


IMO, yer doin great if being by yourself is ok. but there is a line that can be crossed into isolating.
