For me its either my meetings or being on SR. I isolated really bad the past couple of years. Now I'm starting to get use to talking to people on a daily basis.
I'm still struggling and every time I take 2 steps forward I go back 1 or more. I don't want to be alone any more.

The gift of bonding...
Relieve me of bondage of self, that
I may better do Thy will....
pg 83 alcoholics anonymous
Many times in my alcoholic state, I drank
to establish a bond between myself and
others, but I succeeded only in establishing
the bondage of alcoholic loneliness.
Through the A. A. way of life, I have
recieved the gift of bonding -
with those who were there before me,
with those who are there now, and with
those yet to come. For this gracious gift
from my HP, I am forever grateful.

The children leave this weekend and I hate that. I get full of self pity and loneliness quite quickly.
Luckily, I have made contact with one or two others who I can call and ask if they are going to a meeting. Usually they think it is a good idea. Sometimes we even go out for coffee afterwards. I miss the deep relationship type company though even when I am with them.
Thanks for another great thread Sharon.
