I am tired of putting up with the loneliness attached to alcoholism, I know I need to detach but unfortunately weather conditions have me housebound at present so am having a bit of a rough time. I also gathering resentments by the newtime. Every day the weather just gets a little worse than what it did the day before, ex-a who stays with me is being a pain in the ass and irritating me, normally I get out and about so I can handle it but I'm not doing so good these days unfortunately,

Got some literature?  Phone still working?  Computer is and you're not alone.  I know
what you mean and the picture you are painting does not suggest happiness.  It does
suggest that you have the opportunity, ability and facility to work some program magic
on yourself.  Good time to self love.    (((((hugs))))) smile

((((Marie))),
We are here for you. What about taking a nice hot bath with a cup of tea and a good book? Find little ways to take care of you.

Yours in recovery,
Mandy

I can remember that feeling all too well....I use to say my husbands alcohol was his mistress.

Hopefully the weather will get a little better and you can get out.

Peace to you,
Andrea

I hear you!  Sometimes I think lonely is worse than angry, and I don't like being angry.  I find it helps to pretend that he's not even physically in the house, that I'm single and can amuse myself as I see fit.  I also find myself thinking of miss vodka as his mistress, as she's stolen my husband from me, but know I can't blame a bottle of liquid. 

Good luck finding things to enjoy by yourself - it is doable.
