Hi 2much. I'm sorry that you are in so much pain.
I too am very much alone. The only person I have in my life is my son who is almost 21 and has his own life. I only get to see him twice a week and even then he often has plans with his friends.
You know, I was just as lonely when I was drinking. Since I've stopped over 6 months ago I am still lonely, but see things with much better clarity. I've found peace and serenity being by myself.
I also know that being sober I have a much better shot at meeting people and developing a fulfilling life instead of drowning my sorrows in a bottle of booze. Drinking isn't the way to solve any of our problems.
Maybe we need to take a leap of faith and get out there and join a club, volunteer, etc. to give meaning and purpose to our lives. Let's give it a shot
