How do I find “new” friends??? I have to stay out of bars and away from parties. I’m a bit lost and lonely. Yikes! Never thought I’d say that!
I agree with Dee. I also encourage you go to meetings. Go to a variety of meetings. You will find good fellowship and new friends by going to meetings. I have found
I found some solid friends, who are strong in their sobriety, friends that get it. One meeting I attend has lots of scheduled sober activities.
Aa meetings every day for a year.meet lots of people.if we want this we have to try.and take action.staying a way from people does not work.
In recovery meetings like AA you’ll meet your new friends
Meetings, the gym or field. New hobbies. I have a friend who started bow shooting and he describes it as zen and all the guys don’t drink. They say it messes with their breathing and concentration.
AA has the most colorful people. Even non alcoholic people gray themselves out with alcohol in social situations. Sober/recovery people show their color and real personality. Great friendships to be made there.
