Do you ever feel intense loneliness? Like you’re the only person in the world who’s fighting the battles you face? It happens often and it’s a self-reinforcing cycle. When you feel lonely you don’t want to reach out or acknowledge the problems you face, and, as a result, you think you’re alone. For example, I’m in a couple of different men’s prayer groups. I appreciate it when someone boldly shares that they struggle to manage alcohol or some other addiction. It makes it acceptable for others to admit the same struggle. Suddenly the shame, isolation, and the power of the addiction can be broken. But it’s not instantaneous and the deeper the feelings of isolation and loneliness the longer the path to recovery.
