Feelings of loneliness can be a big trigger and cause of relapse for many people. What is your relationship like with being alone? This episode is great for anyone who struggles with being alone, or is used to being around lots of friends and is first starting to make the transition into sobriety. While it's essential to have supportive people around you in your alcohol free journey, dealing with loneliness is just as important. Feeling lonely can make substance abuse worse. Finding ways to support yourself if you feel loneliness is key in recovery. Please reach out if you need support in this area.
