I feel the same way. Not many people I know who are sober.

I get it, too. In that transition stage between going to the old places/ old friends and finding new friends. I like some
of the people I’ve met in recovery, but I still don’t know them very well and feel mostly like acquaintances.

Sobriety is a noble, albeit sometimes lonely cause

Right. I gave some friends in recovery. Most of them I just see at meetings.
The friend struggle is real

Hey sister. 
So very noble
I’m very fortunate in that aspect, there’s a great recovery community where I live and I’ve found an awesome sponsor and have 2 men I’ve come to call my brothers in the course of my one week in recovery so far, plus my awesome wife who’s much farther in recovery than I am. But I’m here for anyone who wishes to join my sobriety family

Yes it is! I have like 3 sober friends, but they don’t understand the recovery process, so we don’t talk much about it. And I don’t go to meetings because that program didn’t work for me. So I’m basically building up some friends on here at least to chat with and go through the process with on here.

I just talked about this tonight at an AA meeting. I am at the beginning of my recovery and feeling the same lonely. Missing my old friends, but know I can't go back to that life. I'm here if you ever need someone to talk to.
Nice sober time. It's hard sometimes to connect with people and make new friends especially in recovery. I'm currently in IOP which has been great. I make it to as many AA meetings as I can weekly and I've been doing volunteer work also which is very rewarding. I'm building my support network. I've been talking with people and getting numbers and making connections but still haven't had any really close friends in years. Maybe one but not any others. I feel everything is coming together and things will get better if you really want them to. You just have to work at it. Stay the course. It looks like your doing a great job at already. If you feel like chatting sometime hit me up anytime. We're all in this together.
Feel free to add and message me anytime
Corbin I’m recently sober and I get it my dude I was in and out of aa and felt like I’d go sit and not really get anything out of it and would go home lonely seeking friends etc. the other day I went to aa and said screw it im going to be rigorously honest here. Totally off topic of discussion and I about cried opening up being actually vulnerable and said I’m lonely as heck and want community to hang with. After the meeting 4 peeps came to me and said thanks for that. We will literally pull you along everywhere we go. So I guess just open up say that and be frank about it. Make sure you also put in the awkward time to just stay back from the meeting and awkwaldu talk about something. It’s all about planting seeds and eventually bo you got that connection and you got some buds. I’m doing it every time
. If I drink I will. Lose my life so why not just lose the time to meet ppl and ask them to hang. I mean really what do we have to lose here besides death!

Hello I'm kari love having these apps available for some much needed support and friends in the community! 23 days ago I got sober and it's hitting the stage where it's not a pink cloud everyday so it's nice to come here and see I'm not alone
