Loneliness sucks, whether you’re in addiction or in recovery. In this episode, we talk about how loneliness shows up in both, why it often gets worse before it gets better, and how isolation can quietly pull us back into old patterns. We also get real about what actually helps - connection, honesty, and learning to sit with ourselves without running.
