6 days sober ❤️

I've been struggling to find things to do and sober folks to hang out with to have some sober fun. It feels really isolating, boring, and lonely. I've gone to IOP groups and NA meetings. I haven't found people I connect with or bond with. I have swapped numbers with a few peeps in IOP and na meetings, but no one ever texts back or calls back.
Theres a lot of places here where I'm bound to get into trouble. If i go outside to take a walk, hike, go to the rivers alone, I get scent triggered by my DOC. It makes it impossible to trust myself not to relapse. Lately, I've had that fear, and it's keeping me from actually getting outside and doing sober things. I just hope to make friends here or nearby. I want to be able to go out and enjoy life again with a clear head and new eyes.
Does anyone else feel this way, or is it just me? (Also, I'm new to the app)

I was able to find friends in NA. There are plenty of online meetings. As for people to do things with, I would go to meetings and share about being bored, or looking to have fun in recovery outside of the meetings. I don't know what you have tried. It's worth a shot. As always stay safe. KCB.

I've done a fair amount of sharing in meetings. They of course, make me feel welcome. They always offer a phone list. I just haven't had luck with responses or calls. I guess keep on going and and keep on sharing.
Hearing that you've made friends in NA gives me a piece of mind. Thank you kind sir and same to you. Stay safe, stay sober :two_hearts:

Go out and find new hobbies and things to do! Find people to help in A.a. or n.a. most people in a.a. see narcotics as the same . Remember, service keeps us sober. Make sure to do the steps, read the big book!
