Due to quite a few illnesses I am down in the dumps with a horrid deppression.
As I am a recoverering alcoholic/drug addict I have split with my wife and all associates and distanced myself far too much from almost everyone.
I am alone and mainly feel quite ill so I am not the most cheerful of people.
I would like to find a forum were I can mix with people as I am quite lonely.I hope I am not too miserable.

Welcome! Over the weekend I heard we were not designed to be alone, that we need other people. I think you made the right decision coming here.

Before anything else, you are amazing with your cessation from those addictions you mention in your profile/journal etc. You certainly do not lack fortitude. Nice work.

If distancing yourself from ... I would rather see you depressed and lonely than to return to or continue to be in an addictive life style. If that is what you left behind, I DO hope you will continue to stay away from it.

As for the loneliness and depression, you will get plenty of insight to them here on DS. Glad you are among us.
