Red,
I still have some days when I feel sorry for myself, feel lonely or feel like "no one cares...if I left and went away no one would miss me". The feeling always passes......know that you are NEVER alone and that there are millions of people in recovery who feel the same way you do...that is my disease talking to me, wanting me to isolate and "handle it my own way". When I go to a meeting, even if I don't share, I always feel better because just being a room ful of recovering alchoholics shows me I'm NOT alone. Hang in there!!! Talking to others and getting out of your head always helps. When I first got sober I also got a journal and wrote down all my feelings and thoughts. Just getting it out on paper was therapeutic for me.
