Anyone else find that the longer you are clean, the more lonely you feel? I’m something of a romantic, in fact, rom-coms are something of a guilty pleasure of mine, but I always found that when I’m using, I don’t really feel lonely because to me, I deserve to be alone when I’m in that state, I’m not worthy of a romantic partner. But now, I’ve been clean for almost two weeks, I’m feeling good, and then… the loneliness hits. I just don’t want this to lead me somewhere it shouldn’t. I know how easy it is for feelings like that to get away from you. Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone experiences the same thing? Praying for you all. Hope you are all doing well. 🙏🏼
I actually see that as a good thing in a way cause you’re actually acknowledging that you want to not be lonely if ygm. Think of the loneliness as like a twisted ankle or something and masturbation as a painkiller. When you were beating your schmeat you weren’t feeling the pain so there was no reason to address it. Now that you’re not beating you’re forced to do something about it. Idk if I explained that too well but I hope you get what I mean 😅
