6 months sober - Feeling lonely

I recently reached 6 months sober. When I got my chip in AA there was a couple people that told me that at 6 months, “the monkey is off your back, but the circus is still in town.”

I agree with that statement, it is was a visual of how i feel.
I’m feeling lonely because no one invites me anywhere. I am not in a relationship either. I am just with myself, some friends and family. I really miss the social aspect of being at the bar too.
But I guess I should just be grateful for what I do have, which is my sobriety, even if it comes with feelings of loneliness

I’ve been in that place too. Those moments can feel like a lot, but it doesn’t stay. As you keep showing up for yourself, life starts to adjust again.
Still another day, another win. Proud of you for showing up for yourself.
