Overcoming Loneliness & Finding Your Tribe
Loneliness is one of the most common—and least talked about—challenges in recovery. When you leave behind the drinking buddies, party friends, or people tied to your old life, it can feel like you’re walking alone. Even surrounded by people, you might still feel isolated, misunderstood, or emotionally distant. This sense of separation is real, and it can feel like one of the biggest hurdles on the road to building a new life.
