I get it. But your not alone. I use to think the same thing when I first got sober.
I know how you feel I stay to myself most of the time I just moved from GA to North Carolina. Where I know absolutely no one but my sister and her friends I've been sober now for4 months I don't work due to disabilities. That won't allow me to be on my feet for very long at all I have no one really to talk to .I don't know how to deal with this .I've always been on the go and doing for others .but now I feel stuck I've tried to find myself .but the truth is I don't even know who I am or what direction to go to even find myself.any feed back would greatly appreciated
So sorry for what you are going through. It’s really hard but keep pushing and ignore/ distract that voice says you can’t do without drinking or something. I’m going through the same but still hope one day it’s going to be a story to tell. Stay focused after few days you will get to used to 
I pray for you to stay strong
Jeffery I’m not too different in regards to social life. I found that the sober community is where my tribe is.
I went to a ton of different AA/NA/CA meetings until I found the ones I really enjoyed. Then I had plenty of cool people to hike with, laugh with, hang out with and even hang glide with.
Your not alone, if you wanna talk I'm me, my name is Wendy
I meant I'm here 
There a local meeting or two you can get plugged into? Friends in and out of recovery is totally possible, but I had to start with hanging with sober people. It gets easier, and best thing is, they will be the best relationships you can actually keep due to recovery!
