Loneliness my biggest hurdle
Hey gang,
I've been sober going on 49 days, and I find most of the time I feel no desire to drink, during the week when I work, go to meetings it keeps me focused. I travel for work which has me out of town except on weekends when I'n not required to cover emergency call, thankfully I'm a few hours from home so going home is easy and often.
The weekends I am stuck here the loneliness and missing my wife is overwhelming, even calling my sponsor and going to meetings.
Anyone else deal with this as a serious character defect/trigger to feel like drinking?
If so anything you do to redirect your thoughts?
I know meeting, or actually having to into work is helpful. I suppose exercise would be a great thing to add....just curious
