Many of us feel lonely when it comes to the holidays if we have no one to share them with; whether it's due to family or other more personals reasons. It can also be an especially hard time for us to stay sober because of the loneliness felt during this time.

The purpose of this thread is to support those who feel lonely/triggered/unhappy around the Holiday season :)

Over the years we get several threads of members experiencing loneliness and hopelessness during this time of year, so now we have a special thread where we can support each other.

So, post away! It doesn't matter which holiday makes you feel this way- Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas Eve, Christmas, Kwanza, New Years-- etc!

Please adhere to the forum guidelines and BLUA which can be found at the top of the page.

I don't celebrate any holidays, so if anyone wants to have a bitch fest, I'm down! =D
 
I'm with you Tude. I barely even acknowledge my own birthday.

But I host an orphan Christmas whenever I can and just have a nice day with friends with absolutely no mention that it's Christmas Day. Other than the food that is. I always have to cook up traditional foods for it.
 
I barely acknowledge my birthday, either. I get older everyday, right?

Your orphan Christmas sounds cool! I sit in my room and say "Bah humbug!" all day lol.
 
^ I'm sorry :( Maybe you two can do something special? It doesn't have to cost money. Just spending the day together is awesome :)
 
i was so looking forward to the same old boring yet comforting thanksgiving tradition with my dad and g pa but my dad is very ill and i don't know whats gonna happen i always think the worst if he dies i want to die with him
 
I hope your dad gets better flowers. What's his prognosis? I can't believe it will be 2 years coming up since my mother passed, she was in a coma over Christmas from cancer. It will be my first holiday season without my son. I'm not eager for any type of celebration nowadays because it seems meaningless. I won't even attempt faking it.
 
well apparently he has a "serious infection" in his spine so if they can't get him on good working anitboitics he probably will die
 
I have a huge family. I haven't been around to see any of them like usual, as they all live so close, because they weren't 'there' for me whilst I was struggling through my addiction. I kinda hold a grudge. They were there for my cousin fighting cancer, or my mom fighting cancer or uncle fighting hep c.... but me fighting addiction.... not even a fucking call to see how I am. I feel like they look down on me.... I'm trying to let it go but I can't. Holidays suck... everyone's happy but me....and when you're not happy, you hate seeing others happy.
 
My dad passed.away this summer and my husbands in jail. He just did almost three years now hes looking at a lot longer. We have young daughter. It sucks! Gonna try to make christmas good for her, my mum is still around but shell probably work christmas. Ah well, such is life.
 
Hey evey, thanks so much it really helps to know youre not alone. Likewise, PM me if you ever need to chat, maybe I can return the favor! Hope all is well as can be with everyone today.
