Any suggestions?

Isolation has always been an issue for me since getting clean and sober. I always tend to tuck myself back into my comfortable little space over time and before I know it I've pretty much shut everything out again. Still hit meetings and what not, work, a couple of activities and interests throughout the week but all in all Im still pretty much a lone wolf. Always have been really but the drugs and alcohol of course had its own baked in reason for venturing out. Wondering how ( if any have done it ) you managed to reach out to find others to socialize with without putting your personal info out for just anyone to see. I don't feel safe posting " Hey anyone in ( my area ) looking to branch out etc. Just seems randomly giving out information may not be so smart. Or maybe my thinking on this is totally wrong to begin with :thinking:

Isolation is a FORM OF FEAR. GO TO THE BOOK STORE AND GET BOOK.. THINK AND GROW RICH.. READ THE LAST CHAPTER FIRST. CALLED THE 6 GHOSTS OF FEAR. LET'S FACE IT AND RECOVER... YOU CAN DO THIS

There is nothing wrong with you asking for Help BYE reaching out. Believe in yourself take baby steps towards getting better. Be a LONG TERM THINKER. ALL problems won't be solved AT once.. you can do this

Thank you so much

I'm big on volunteering for causes I believe in like preparing and serving dinner at a homeless shelter or helping to check in people at a fundraiser. I also usher a 4 different places. I have to be sober for everything and I am of service to others and see some great plays and shows as well. You meet sober, healthy people who share your interests as well.
