I feel completely alone outside of my family
Hello a little about myself I am 50 married with 4 kids. I have been battling a prn addiction for about 30 years along with depression and anxiety for 20 years. My wife and kids know about these struggles.
My wife is very out going, she loves making new friends and talking to everyone. My wife keeps telling me I need more friends and conversation in my life besides just her. I will have in person conversations with coworkers and friends at church. I avoid texting as much as I can in fear of the conversation turning sexual (as many have in the past),the individual finding out about my shameful addiction along with always feeling like a burden or I am bothering whoever I am texting. I’m tired of feeling lonely but I’m also afraid to reach out and make friends
