How do you all handle holidays like these? It feels lonely not going out and I can’t seem to find sober groups or friends. Struggling with knowing I’ll never drink or use again.

I can relate! Hardest one for me used to be St Patty's... these days I thank my lucky stars for the lack of drama. Lonely ain't so bad after all. You know what feels super lonely? Waking up at 4am in a panic, frantically searching through your phone for what you said last night. Or staying up until you can hear the birds chirping. There's no lonely like that!!
I make a plan to romance myself when I feel like going out. Candles, bubble bath, soft music, a favorite show, snacks, paint my nails, skin care, etc (toys? Lol jkjk.. unless?)
Love this perspective. These are the things I need to focus on! Appreciate your insight.
It does take a whole new mindset when we try to navigate this new course. But the wonderful thing about it is we CAN do it !!!
