Hello everyone! I just found this app, I've been sober almost 4 months and finding new friends that doesn't drink has been a challenge. I'm happy to be sober, but I'm lonely...Glad to me here!

Welcome Carrie! Many good people here. I’ve been sober 2.5 years and am still struggling with a social life, it’s hard for most of us. You are not alone. Are you involved in any sobriety group or program? It helps me socialize some but it still isn’t the same as creating ‘organic’ friendships.

I am not involved in any groups but want to be. I'm just not sure about AA. I went to meetings when I was in rehab but have only been to one since I left. Idk what's holding me back...maybe the steps and/or higher power. I have quit without the steps even though that wasn't recommended. What arr your thoughts?
Suggest you get plugged into something. We as addicts alone don’t get very far. We together have each others backs. Hope you can find a comfortable recovery zone. It’s a WE program, sobriety.

Thank you so much! Those words alone helped more than I would have ever thought!
For me what helps it a weekly womens meeting. It’s a speaker discussion group so I always hear sometimes need to plus you start seeing the same people over and over it becomes very social. I am happy to go now. Just a thought…
Welcome congratulations. Your going to love this app. People are awesome here.
