Theres no outside fix for addiction.
Loneliness is a state of mind, having a connection with spirituality and knowledge that the whole living world is part of you helps. Ego driven need for a certain life, certain things, people to assist and love you gets out of hand and when people dont get what they thing they are owed, they escape.
Acceptance is a big help, 12 steps help, living with what you have helps, imo.
