I love reading your posts James, you’re not rambling at all. I think we all want that close connection with another person, and sometimes it takes a long time to find it. Some of us maybe don’t find it with another person, but I think we need to somehow find it within ourselves first.

I’m still searching, I think I’ve been searching all my life. I used alcohol for a lot of years to fill that emptiness inside, but I know now that alcohol just makes the emptiness bleaker. So now I need to look within to find some peace and connection.

I think that when we’re more at peace within ourselves, we attract more good things and people into our lives. Someone explained it to me as our vibrational energy gets higher, we attract other people of similar higher vibrational energy. I don’t fully understand it myself, and now I’m probably rambling lol. But I do believe that the longer we stay sober and work on improving ourselves, the better things get for us and the more likely we are to meet like minded people that we connect with

And I’m here for another 24 hours of sobriety please.

And thanks Suze ❤️ xxx

Willow, what a lovely post!xx I’m working on being that person that I want in my life. And communicate with people, open things up while I’m stuck at home. It is possible and I smile when I think of all the things I will do. Out running around by myself, and with others. These lovely, sober, funny people that get me. People who will take hikes with me and hang out at the coffee shop with the couches with local musicians playing, and local art on the walls. Traveling, cooking, paddling a canoe. Learning to paint. Making odd movies. I’m really lonely but I’m under construction! Soon come.

James, I hear you. I’m right where I need to be with the things I have. I want what I have and I have a lot to give others. My next partner will be a great guy. But today it’s just me, appreciating what I have and praying for forgiveness from my selfishness and the thoughtless things I did. I was neglectful. I never attacked, I withdrew. I’m haunted by it. I think all you can do is pray and get better. Your kids have a sober Dad now and it will take time. I’m thinking of you and your family. That healing will occur. You’re on the right path, my friend. I really appreciate your posts...they keep me grounded.

***if anyone wants a chat buddy or sober friend to speak with, I’m here and would like to hear from you.
