Hi, Im feeling really really lonely tonight. I am a recovering porn and drug addict. Intimacy with another human being, or other human beings, is a NEED, is it not? My gut and heart hurt rigth now because I dont have anyone to be with, and I am wondering how I can get this need met healthily? I am going to a new church (Im in a new town) soon, and I am sure I can get friendship needs met... I know God is the answer, and I have asked him for intimacy. So its been ansered by him, just not feeling it met rigth at this mopment. any ideas, like, say, on how to create new relationships? (Not necessarily love realtionships?) Thanks -MoW

I'm married with 3 children and at times (when the kids aren't home) this can be the loneliest place on earth. It's taken a while, but I've started to venture out and do things that I like. I've looked at some of the things I'm interested in and signed up for classes. I've gotten involved at my son's school. I go places that interest me...museums, stores, etc.....anything! Look back and remember things you like and find those same places/groups in your new town. Do things for yourself and not for the intention of meeting others....that will just naturally fall into place! Good Luck Allalone

One thing the 12-step fellowships can offer is close friendships with other addicts who really understand what it's like, with whom one has shared everything, and who still accept, love, and support one. Tim M.

It can be difficult to be alone. I am single man, 40 years old. For example is it difficult with physical contact. I think it is getting harder and harder to not get much physical contact... I am not sure if I am longing for more spiritual contact and that that's the problem or if the problem is physical contact in itself? I don't know.. For example: Physical food: The body needs it, but it is not needed to cover up for problematic feelings? Is it?When it comes to physical contact; What is a real need and what is a substitute?

I have gone to some massage recently. Not sure if it is a good thing or not, but skin-contact might be a need? I am not sure? Just a sharing. When I share I usually ask some question. That might be my way of sharing more than it means that I am asking for answers that might not help me. So, sorry for not being clear. Maybe I should be more clear when I share. Maybe I need to share in a different way if I want to communicate better. A dialogue about that or thoughts about sharing and so on might be good? Best regards Thanks Last edited on Sat May 5th, 2012 11:37 am by Man ____________________ May the Lord bless you all! |
