How exactly do I go about like finding or building my support group? Like people I can talk to daily or weekly and help keep me motivated and on track Nandi do the same in return. Really would like some sober friends.
Meetings, in whatever discipline you choose to follow. Find a sober club near you and go there. Find a sponsor to help you navigate sobriety.
I'll assume you're talking Alcohol. You can go to AA online it's org not com and find a local meeting or Google AA alternatives there should be a list to choose from. Join 1 and socialize. But you must put yourself out there.
I appreciate y’all. It’s deff going to be a task for me to I guess be more open to accepting new people in my life, I’m pretty open about being an alcoholic and I have been to AA in the past and I currently do a few diff online zoom type meetings as well. I just feel it’s hard for me to like connect with people I guess. Something I’m aware I need to work on to progress in this.
My inability to connect with others is probably the reason I was drinking. Starting a new life, reaching out and making friends even though im scared!
Here is a good start. AA and supportive family and friends
I think my drinking was a way to be less socially awkward with people and then it eventually also became a way to relax,... Every day.
Keep up the hard work! Be an Inpiration
Being scared means you want this. Cool stuff is ahead my man.
