I'm a recovering alcoholic and have been going to AA meetings for 3 years. I previously had a period of sobriety in my life that lasted 9.
I relapsed during the past 3 years several times, and my belief is God is the only think that has kept me away from a drink. I've been sober a while, but I'm losing faith quickly.
The reason is that I'm very lonely. I haven't managed to make any friends, my ex-girlfriend left me a year ago and is sober now, and has tons of friends.
I have found women in recovery aren't interested in men in recovery, and women outside of AA don't want to date a recovering alcoholic.
I try very hard to trust that God has a plan for happiness for me some day, but I'm so lonely I haven't been happy for a year.
Why does God want me to be so lonely?
