I feel so isolated now that I am clean. Where do you go to hang out besides a meeting to meet people?

Well, it’s the meetings after the meeting that count the most starting out. Getting with others to go have coffee. Go bowling. A movie. Hiking. Etc. It’s called “Fellowshipping”. Getting others in recovery in your new life. You live normal like earth people do. Does your area have a fellowship house? Make phone calls. Build a foundation with new friends. Then, after that’s built, sobriety solid, branch out. Start dating again if single. Yet, the sobriety has to always be first. Without it eventually nothing is gonna work. Coming here is a great start. Keep reaching out. Ask to see if other ladies here are in your area. Make friends. Hope you figure it out.
Meetings like k.Bradford R. Said!!.
Check out the apps MeetUp and ThePhoenix. In MeetUp, search under “sober” activities. ThePhoenix is exclusively sober activities.
I know how you feel, Been dealing with exactly the same since I stopped using. I feel much better off now but life is so different. Try joining a gym it helps a lot as well as meetings & meeting new people, it will all come together.

You are so beautiful!! If no one has told you, I say you look like Alice Braga. 
If we stay the sober path, we age a lot differently, AND in a good way! Hugs to you!
I definitely can relate. Because of not getting to inperson meetings and connecting with women in person I get very lonely too. I jump on meeting and text my friends in the fellowship every day.
