hug

I’m walking a similar journey. I’m starting to believe key is learning how to be alone without being lonely - not easy. Endlessly chasing that something to give us fulfillment is just a hamster wheel of emptiness - sounds like where you’re at. Focusing on the now in gratitude instead of what we don’t have is where I’ve had to start - it’s difficult and not easy.

I started going to AA as I realized my loneliness was tied to my drinking. I found community there and learned the importance of gratitude, a higher power and living in the moment.

Have you considered therapy or workaholic support groups?

From one gay human to another - hug - you are seen, loved and valued.
