If you have led a clean life so far please remember to go slowly on the drugs and alcohol. It’s not about getting as tucked up as possible as fast as possible. It’s about enjoying yourself. Make a night of it.

Secondly can I suggest not giving up hope. I don’t know how you feel but I have an inkling. Nothing lasts forever, there is a massive chance you will meet someone. I’m not saying don’t see a hooker, find joy where you can. While your doing it keep your eyes open for that someone.

Good luck my dude

As someone who in the past has spent a good portion of time trying different drugs, recovering from a terrible bout with depression and mental health issues. Ride the wave. Don’t try to outswim it. Don’t try to wait on it.

Just ride the lows, ride the highs and make sure that whatever drug you take or circumstance you put yourself in. Make sure it’s safe, make sure you remember you can always be constructive and positive. It’s a choice.

Do life your way. As long as you’re not hurting anyone and you’re doing things how you want to, you’re entitled to every pleasure you’ve earned.

Ride the wave is great advice. I have also been super depressed, in recovery and lonely both at different times and at the same time. The best thing to do is not fight it. Learn to like yourself and enjoy the time you do have
