Hello Nikki, I have felt lonely after getting sober, even after being sober for a while. I had to learn to love myself. I also needed to look at what I wanted from people. People were in my life, but were not what I was truly looking for. When I became honest with myself, the loneliness lifted and getting to more meetings to meet new people really helped 
Thank you for reaching out

Yeah, and it was hurtful at first, until I hung out with a couple of them after being sober for awhile and realized I was great where I was.
We didnāt have much in common and I couldnāt se myself sitting with a drink to enjoy a nice afternoon. To be honest, I really enjoy my time with myself now. Hang in there.

I did volunteering, found groups on meetup based on common interests that arenāt centered around drinking.

It can be lonely, especially if bridges were burned with family. Thatās why I downloaded this app and I have three cats and a dog.

Yes I do from time to time. It can have it good points, but also it's bad points. You just have to remember your higher power is always with you. Message me anytime
Are you sure?
Maybe the drinking buddies don't want to:
A. Tempt you with booze,
B. Give you the recognition
(As in they see undeniable change that soberity has had and it makes them feel uncomfortable and/or inferior),
C. Stop drinking
Hi and welcome
Sometimes sobriety can help to separate the people from our lives who actually wanna be there for us from the ones who just use us or don't have our best intentions at heart.
Get a doggie and surround yourself with sober people! Iāve been where you are, and I sometimes still amš
We was always lonely in our addiction. We let people use us also we use them. It was on negativity. Now we positivity. Enjoy the ride.

At the front of the rooms, thereās usually a sign that says āyouāre not aloneā - ļæ¼ļæ¼ I found that the more I spend time around sober people the more sober people I met who were genuine and embracing life one day at a time. ļæ¼ I pray that good connections will come for you. ļæ¼ so glad youāve embarked on your sober Journey.
