Hello All

Hope everyone is well

My trigger well I have come to accept it. Its being on my own and missing company.

During life i have done well great job nice house and expensive car.

However I cant get away from alone which is a wrench.

Be well all and be healthy

mrmiller - It's good that you've recognized being alone is a trigger. Things don't seem as awful when we can say them out loud.

You can always talk to us when you feel alone. We're concerned for you, and we care.

Thanks im doing ok thankfully i have realised my short full before its to late. My inner insecurities are the cause of drinking and i know i have to work on them.

Hevyn

Insecurities, shyness & being self-conscious are problems for me. For awhile I believed drinking was keeping me calm, but in the end it did just the opposite. Glad to hear you're doing ok.

It's something you can work on.

Is is possible there is another issue? How do you give your life meaning?

Hi mrmiller

I was always uncomfortable in my own company too - part of the work I've done in recovery is to get to know myself, and to get to a place of peace with who I am.

I enjoy others company, but I'm comfortable being with myself now - after a lifetime of running away from myself, I find that a great gift and I hope it find it so too

I dislike being alone tears at the heart strings. I also feel bad that life has been kind to me but yet i still seem to not appreciate / enjoy it.

The biggest insight that I have gained from Recovery (as opposed to abstinence) is that both happyness and misery are an inside job.

I can have a terrible day, where everything goes wrong, and be happy at the end of it. On the other hand, I can have a perfect day, where everything goes right, and be miserable at the end of that day.

It all depends on how I apply spiritual principles in my life that makes the difference.

Humility + Benevolence = Serenity
