So lonley

I've quit finally, but I'm feeling so overwhelmingly lonely. I don't even know how to explain it, I just crave so much attention. Is this just from getting off it? I've always had a tendency toward loneliness, but this is so much worse. I'm trying to fill my time but can't shake the feeling. Thanks for listening.

the lonliness is one of the feelings you were covering up with using pot. there will be other feelings also as sober time increases. you will find healthy ways of dealing with your feelings. i would recommend going to an in person na or ma meeting and sharing about how you are feeling, getting a sponsor you can call and numbers of people to talk to

I felt pretty down when I quit - part of that was most of my friends smoked and I moved to a different part of town.

The cure for loneliness isn't going back to smoking pot - it's about finding new friends and things to do - build a sober life you love

I had the same feelings but just find other things to do. Read go to the gym or a walk or even just hanging out with family works.

I too smoked to cure my loneliness, boredom and low self esteem even. Smoking made me focus on my high instead of solutions. Keep up the good work!
