Confessions of a Sober Loner
She goes to meetings and lives a quiet, sober life. She doesn’t make a lot of friends and isn’t lonely—and she loves it
I started drinking at 16 and did it consistently for 18 years, mostly alone. I was and am what people might call different. Now, with 17 years of sobriety—and happily alone—I’m able to accept that. Contrary to other people’s opinion of what’s right for me, it’s OK to live and be sober alone. I find peace knowing that I mustn’t, as they say, “Go out there and cultivate friendships.”
