I’m sorry for what you’re going through, I know it can be hard feeling alone, I feel the same way sometimes too with my lifestyle change, I usually try to go for a walk, listen to music or write down what I’m feeling. Hope things get better for you!!

And I don’t go to meetings I don’t really have the time to. Most of the meetings near me are very early and I work at night. So I’m usually sleeping when the meetings are going on or at work

Have you tried to see if there are any meet up groups in your area? There are plenty of activities that are hosted during the day that you may be interested in joining.

Yeah, man. You wake up one day and they’re gone. I’m there too. No friends close. Where you at? What area?

#10

You’re very welcome. We just have to believe it will get better.

Lots of meetings available via zoom my dude! I know it’s not easy going through it. Only 4 months under my belt but I do have a ton of support from being open around my old watering holes about choosing my sobriety over beers and booze. I still love my sports bars but I just enjoy my club sodas and ask them to get creative with a mock tail instead of my 6-10 IPA’s. Be proud of your accomplishments of sobriety and you will also discover who your real friends are

Getting active In service work has kept me going. There are days where the world seems big too big and heavy. If there are some recovery programs in your area they may have info on social events. when looking for a sponsor I tried to have someone that had something I wanted. If you don’t have a sponsor I would suggest to make a mental list of things you would like to see in your life. For me it was to be able to laugh in the pain, cry at the joy and I wanted to learn how to trust again. So I looked for a sponsor that and would show me the steps to getting there. He’s not doing the work but giving me the tools so I may progress.
