Not even being just single, just not socializing in general without alcohol feels so boring! Not sure how to get over it to be honest it’s the hardest part

Let me tell you a little story. When I was nine months sober for the second time. I mind fucked myself into a relationship that lasted two weeks and ended in one person committing suicide.

I started dating this girl named Jen. Everything went great for the first two weeks. Then one day I made one mindless comment that was a little insulting. She immediately terminated the relationship.

A bunch of us usually went to a diner after meetings for coffee and fellowship. She came in with one of the guys who couldn’t get sober long. He believe for whatever reason his defects of character were so bad he couldn’t get sober. I asked her what she wanted to get out of me by showing up with this guy were we all hung out. He slammed his hands on the table and started threatening to kick my but. So I went and prayed vengefully about it. For nothing good for them then two weeks later he committed suicide. I sort of blamed myself for it because I was so spiteful about it. And I knew at that moment I was done dating in AS for quite some time. I knew it would be like twenty years. Here it is 22 years later having worked through most of my major challenges. It takes twenty years to get twenty years. And as an old timer told me once it’s better to be sincere and single than drunk and in a relationship. And truly success in recovery can be a lonely business but it is far better than drinking.

Only you know in your intuition and heart when you will be ready to move on and when it would be wise to do so. Nobody else can answer that question for you because only you know in the recesses of your mind what the problem is and only you have the key to unlock the door.

So good luck my advice is take your time be selfish for yourself get some of the things you want in life first while your trying to resolve this problem. But above all else do not get drunk or high in the process.

Be well
