I have been staying sober for awhile now. I gave up all people, places and things. I moved to Bergen county NJ from Manhattan. But now my problem is I’m lonely and bored. In meetings I go to it’s older crowd and I associate with people over 10 years sobriety. Also they say men stay with men and women with women. I actually always liked having female friends around more than male. I just enjoy more hangout with females.
I’m used to go to events with open bar everyday in Manhattan. Now I go only Dunken Donuts and rarely anywhere else. I’m afraid of going back to work in Manhattan. And only skill set and career Im good at its Real Estate Salesperson in Manhattan. I started going for 1 week now again. But I’m acting weird. Soon as I get a thought of something entertaining old habits I run to meeting and back home in NJ. I get those thoughts only in Manhattan.
Does anyone have any suggestions how to deal with financial issues if I actually give up my RE career in NY too. Sobriety has become my number one priority now. I don’t want to take chances anymore. I get full blown out: drinking, after parties, ladies, and blow out all my money fast. I been struggling since November 2021 with not wanting to go to Manhattan. By the way, also I have not had boss for last 10 years. I don’t know if I can do schedules. Or have someone tell me what to do.
