I was doing great for the past couple years. This summer (2021) my daughter got her license. I have never been more happy and excited for her but now I don’t see her every week as I used to do. I also get along great with her mom and family but don’t have the (reason?) to visit all of them. At the same time I lost two sober friends. My closest family is an hour away. I lost almost all of my face to face contact. (Phone is good, but you know) I went out around sober people all summer but… I tried meetup.com and chose activities that wouldn’t involve drinking but somehow the groups all met in bars. I had a blow up on Labor Day. I am looking for sober connections but it is difficult with no vehicle. Winter is coming and that is when I tend to spend the most time inside alone.

Thank you, Dee, I know they say the opposite of addiction is connection.
