I don't know you at all but I've got a suspicion you're a genuinely wonderful person. Question for you... Do you think it's possible for a former drug addict of 5 years to find authentic happiness and serenity in sobriety? How long do you think it would take? All I feel is isolation and hopelessness... I'm fucking lonely.
Hey! Thank you so much for the compliment.Hmmm, to be completely honest, I've met someone who's done it. So yes, I think it's entirely possible :)I was part of an arts festival this summer, and a girl told her story before she performed. I know that she went to rehab, but I think what helped her more than that was her music. She was a great singer/guitarist and I think nurturing that talent is what pulled her through.So, I'm sorry, I can't tell you how long it might take since it's got to be different for everyone. But, the best advice I can give is to find something that you're great at or interested in and work on it. Personal achievement brings an authentic happiness that might just be what you're looking for. And about the loneliness, well, I think it's just a part of life sometimes. But, hey, don't let that stop you from putting yourself out there! You've already started by messaging me across the world :)Hope you don't hesitate to message me again, I don't mind being a cheerleader friend :) I've published this in case it uplifts anyone else feeling the same way. Good luck!
