Sorry you’re struggling. Getting sober can be lonely, especially in the beginning. I STRONGLY recommend you find a recovery program to get plugged into. Besides the benefits of following a daily program to assist you in staying mindful of your sobriety, you can meet other people in recovery to bond with and have a social life

I hear you on making friends. A real true friend. It was always tough for me. I found I had a small handful and a few new ones. I really think that's all we need is faith in God, our friends and a will to succeed. Hang in there. I read this quote
It does not get better
WE Get Better
Read that again

That’s great!! Keep going yo meetings! It just takes 1 or 2 friends to make a huge difference. Loneliness, anxiety, and boredom seem to be very common with us. Hang in there

Hi Kimberly: I'm a recovering addict too. Are there any events this weekend in your area? Speaker jams, picnics, hikes, etc? Please call or email your area service office. There are also 24/7 NA Zoom marathons. Do you know any? PM or DM me if you need help? JFT!
