Hello,

Going into the chatroom may be a solution to your feeling lost & lonely. Many members here love to chat! There are various rooms available.

There are also lots of group forums at this site, to meet others and make friends.

If you're hoping to make friends that you can see in your area, perhaps you can check out local support groups. Depending upon what area you're in, there are lots of support groups that meet regularly. They usually meet in an auditorium or hotel meeting room. Making friends with those dealing with similar troubles can be very encouraging ~ as we're all at different spots in recovery. Those farther along in the recovery process do offer a lot of insight and hope to many people.

Do what you feel comfortable with. Many are here to listen and help (if they can). Take care!
