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
