Friend or Self?

In the beginning of recovery being alone is helpful and kinda of necessary. But at some point that changes and you need peoples support. But now how do I know they are true in their support? I really worry that I might end up enjoying someone else’s company more than my own. How can I make sure I dont allow that to happen again?

I have found that asking my Higher Power in my daily prayers to guide my thinking and intuition helps me be more aware of the true realities of the people, places and things(situations) around me. I make better choices to place my program over personalities. I have also found that God places the right people in your life, either for blessings or lessons. We can't do this alone. We need trusted people in our lives. Keep doing the next right thing, work your steps, speak about it at meetings, pray about it...it will all shake out the way God has planned it in the end. Those that aren't right for you will weed themselves out. His will, not ours, be done.
Just my take on the situation😁

You are doing well to consider these things. You've got your gears turning alright. Can't tell you who to befriend, but our critics are not necessarily rooting for us. Stay you! Stay TRUE!

I'm feeling the same here. I distance myself from everyone and now I don't have a lot of family or friend knocking down my door asking me if I'm OK. God knows where we are and how we feel daily. He brings friends into our lives for the comfort of our hearts. You have been dodging a lot of temptations, and I'm proud of you. You keep going
