Spending New Year alone

BelialKnez December 31st, 2017

Anyone else "celebrating" it alone today? How will you manage it, what are your plans and how do you cope with it?

@BelialKnez I just slept through it so that I don't have to go through brain damage lel

Alone. Again. I was married on New Year's Eve for 34-1/2 years before husband died. Therefore, these particular days are especially hard for me to be alone. Even though my daughters are nearby, they don't want to hang out with mom and they fight when they are together so I don't particularly want their energy. I want companionship; another soul mate. And today, having started last week to use 7 Cups regularly, I felt more kinship with kind others than I have in a long time. It's not perfect but it doesn't have to be. It just needs to be real and the connections here have been honest and heartfelt. That's nice. Just existing, as PerfectStorm426 says. Better than laying on a bed all day, not moving, not rolling the stone away from my own living tomb. Done that too. Really don't want to do that again.

The opportunity to share and talk with like-minded others is truly lifesaving.

Glad to be here and helping others, and myself.
