Looking for sober friends
I am newly sober and went to treatment did midwest detox and residential and some housing and I am now back home where I am pretty lonely. I have zero friends who are sober and I realize in order to remain sober I must change my while life and make new friends but I am having a harder time then I would have thought I would. I have bbn nobody to relate with and am afraid talking to my family about my addiction and what I'm going through because they are supportive but just don't understand. Anyone willing to make a new friend? My sober date is 06/10/2021 my D.O.C was heroin/crack. I'm 30 years old female from elyria Ohio

Megan, I know what you are going through. I have a lot of friends, but not many friends who live with addiction. My family, and close friends support me and understand what addiction is, but it is not the same as someone who is living it. I have been sober for 3 months, my addiction was vodka. Prior to going to detox, and then rehab I was drinking a half gallon a day. This is a really cool app I just found it a couple days ago. Addiction is addiction no matter what choice of drug it may be. I wo
I would be happy to be a sober friend, and I’m sure you will find many more on this app.

Hey Megan! I have a sister with the same name and her flipping birthday is 6/10! 
Congratulations on 70 days today!!!
I can tell you that for me personally, the loneliness that has come along with my sobriety has been difficult and has recently felt almost unbearable. I have a (non addict) partner who has stuck with me through it all, and children who love me dearly, but really no friends. I used for 20 years and any real friends I had I lost because I only put effort into the ones I could get high with. I didn’t nurture friendships and build relationships.. I used people and moved on from them when I was over it.. or they did the same to me first. Either way, they are all gone now. So I have spent time rebuilding the relationships that matter and building new relationships with people that genuinely care about my well-being as much as I do theirs. It’s hard at my age though.. I’m 35 and I don’t trust anyone lol. I’m sorry for the long reply.. I get going sometimes and I can’t stop. Btw.. I’m six minutes away from my two year mark!!

DOC was anything that would get me high but I was especially fond of methamphetamine, crack and ketamine 
I never thought I could be the type of person I’ve become. But I’m so grateful I was given the chance

Good morning
I know exactly what you’re going through
Stay strong,,Have Faith in Yourself, n in Your Higher Power…
Friends are hard to make outside of treatment for me. 2 years sober and still looking to make friends. I go to a local gym and meetings regularly to make friends. I’m on this app looking to expand my sober network too! The pandemic doesn’t help
Hello Megan I learned yrs ago you have many aquantenances but very few true friends. I have 3. My brother is 1 and 2 others I have known for about 45+ yrs. It is difficult for someone to understand what we are going through. I relapsed twice and now 98 days. Reach out anytime, I am a friend.
I sent you a friend request honey
Hi there. Look for meeting in your area. Plenty of people willing to be friends with you. Stand up as a new comer and introduce yourself.

Hey, I’m new to this 15 days sober. I feel alone besides my AA people. So I wouldn’t mind chatting
I am always here if you need to talk. I am non judgemental. Just in the same position
I’d love to be your sober friend.
I’ll be happy to be a friend thru these hard times. Do you have access to horses by any chance? If so, try to brush,feed,clean stall or if lucky enough. Take a ride and you’ll Witness the anxiety fall away from you. Trust me!!
Ohio nice,its almost fire place time, I'm Tom out in Nevada, let's be friends, I have 11 years clean, although I have a variety of addictive substances, alcohol was there,I think the worst was codependent on a active user, there are a lot of less destructive addictions,ok
