Feel like life is not exciting ( I find it hard to find genuine people in AA)

Welcome! I found the longer I stayed sober the definition of exciting changed for me. I'm 61 and go dancing many times per week. I am more social now.
I used AA as a means to get sober and, on the way, made friends. I went to different meetings until I found one I liked and felt like it had recovery that made sense to me.
Don't give up!!! You have just started on your sober legs!

Samantha, it took a while for me to find joy in early sobriety. I didn’t like anyone in AA at first.
I know now that my addict mind/ego was anti AA, anti social, anti recovery and wanted me isolated and miserable. Thank goodness I just stayed the course! Eventually I found peace, then joy and the people that became my friends.
After years of relapsing and struggle, I finally stayed long enough to really get it.
I’m here if you want to talk

Keep Coming Back and Welcome. It takes time to made in AA
Ann is right the longer you stay sober more than likely your idea of excitement will change because what was exciting to you in your addiction. Will not be exciting to you anymore and what is it exciting to you after your sober for a while would not have been exciting to you in your addiction. not everybody in AA or NA will be genuine that’s why I find it better to attend different AA meetings or NA meetings until you find a good home group where they are genuine people because you will find one they are out there we don’t know each other, but I have two years sober and if you ever need anybody to talk to, I’m here
I can assure you that I'm as genuine as you can get I promise you I am 
Thanks Danny
Keep searching for the right AA group and enjoy life
Everyone's got a story but not everyones willing to write it. Our differences is what make AA so special. Our unity and fellowship create that universal connection of acceptance no matter who the receiver or precieved may be
Substance Abuse literally makes almost everything exciting just by the euphoric dopamine rushes it creates. I too am having issues with excitement. At times I don't really want to get up off the couch. Stopping usage pushed my depressive mood swings to new levels. People wonder at times what is happening with me, particularly those uninformed with the overall topic of addiction and related mental health issues.
@farah245581 To thine own self be true. Let's start there.
Sam/Farah whoever you are the fun in soberity is out there. You need to find it and seek it out. You have to look for the genuine AA people we are few and are in-between.
I will definitely agree with what @dadanny157478 said. He's one of the genuine ones.
Stay the course. Add me. You got this my friend... You got this.
I'm blessed to have a group that is mostly over 60. Such salty wisdom and consistency.
In the rooms is a great place to start there are sessions where you can speak and or listen and it's online. There's an app but don't use that as it has glitches and if you need to do it for court the app doesn't log the time as the website does.
