I'm looking for inspiration, what do those with long term sobriety do in the early mornings or when lonely thoughts kick in?
I think I may take up a musical instrument, I already tried a new language. Don't get me wrong, I fill my life with a lot of healthy stuff but I still get these invasive thoughts, of the "big nothing"/"impending disaster".
Maybe, I'm depressed but I don't think so.

Currently I have returned to an old anti depressant and moving better.
Existential angst is raging in these troubled times
. I feel that the a/d helsp me plan activities and get involved.......

Sigh B0g. I struggle with freetime and meaning too.
I'm a believer but mostly out of desperation. I try to elevate common adult tasks as the most sacred thing we can do alongside supporting each other. Coming here helps as I feel I can support you lot and you all support me. There is a higher purpose in that.
I'm single and live alone so it is a challenge to stay busy and not sink into internet brain candy while sitting on the couch.
Please let us know if you find something that helps.
