I am in the same boat you are in, where the lonely is getting to me more and more every day. I think visiting sites like this is calming it to some degree. Add things to your list that you do not usually add to your list such as food, shoe strings, etc... list ALL things you need, not just the things you want to need.

Start saving. Open up a new bank account and have so much money a month transferred over to that. Cut up the card so that you literally have to go into your branch to withdraw your cash - that should make spending it more difficult and less attractive to you for a start.
