Re: Lonely Addict

Hey @FLORE19 ,

 

I'm sorry to hear you are so lonely and have turned to various self-harm methods to get by.

 

What is it that you'd like to make of your life? 

 

It sounds incredibly hard right now.

Re: Lonely Addict

I'm also interested to understand why you turn to drink and drugs? Is it to numb the pain? @FLORE19 

 

Re: Lonely Addict

Hi @FLORE19 . Welcome to the forums! 🙂

Aside from the drinking and drugs, your situation is quite similar to my own. I used to drink socially, but then it fell out of fashion.

I wish I had some solutions to offer, but I'm lost for any, myself.
