this is almost the end of day 5. i hit 24 hrs NC today. i am definately missing human contact - you kow, holding hands, hugging, kissing etc. its nice to have my puppy here, she likes to cuddle at night and in the morning. but i guess i didnt notice how silent a house is when you're the only human in it and how lonely a body can get for simple touches.

I am on day 3 (and my first day of NC) so I am with you. I too feel a huge "gap" now that I no longer sleep next to someone, no kisses/hugs. It is good you have your dog - that must be really helpful. One tip I like is to have the TV on at all times really low, esp a news channel. It makes me feel like I am not truly "alone." Also, there is nothing wrong with staying with family/friends - I know I will be doing that a lot soon.

Take care, I am pulling for you and all of us here.
