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.
