Wow guys/ladies -- this whole thread hit home.
Mrrryah - I totally feel you. I've been feeling the same way recently. And like you, my actual circumstance didn't really change. As in...I've been single and living alone for a while. I just was conked out on wine or vodka within an hour of being home. And now that I'm actually present and aware, I'm like...dang, this is kinda lonely. Apparently this is something a lot of us are dealing with. It's tough but as Jupiter said...just ebbs and flows that we have to ride out I guess.
Oh and the posts about not going out with friends and instead choosing to drink alone -- absolutely. When I did go out, I would have excuses for why I had to go early...just so I could get home to my entire bottle of wine in peace. Honestly, until I found SR I really thought I was the ONLY one in the whole world that did that...like..who DOES that?? I'm not glad that others are struggling of course, but I'm gosh dang glad to have found people that can relate.
