Most people living in one day at a time recovery know what it is like when life lies lonely bringing with it periodic bouts of melancholy which might or might not turn into lonely depression. For many of us it doesn’t happen as much as it did before but it can still happen even after substantial time in recovery. What we need to understand is that life can lie lonely, and will lie lonely when we lack connection with others be they family, friends, or other people who we share the goal and the bond of living in one day at a time recovery and reality with. Although many of us enjoy our alone time, we find time spent with others is essential even if it’s just for coffee or simply meeting with people in the rooms of recovery. It helps us to live a happy and healthy life. Peace.
