Idk how I can attend 2 meetings a day an still feel so alone after 6 months :frowning:

You probably are excluding people from contact that you drank with. I felt so lost for the first three months I.e. what to do with all the time I once spent drinking. I went to bed early often by 7 pm. I usually read cause I am not a tv kind of guy. I would sometimes watch a movie on my iPad. Just add structure and reach out to people. Zoom meetings are great for getting phone numbers. Hang in there man

And you seem like a really busy dude but some thing that’s really helped me feel connected to the group is making phone calls to people I don’t know who go to meetings with me I’m just checking in with them over the last month I’ve made a couple new friends that way that I speak with on a daily basis I’ve been doing this at the direction of my sponsor this is my second time going to meetings and this time around I feel a lot more connected and I honestly think it will help me stay sober in the long run I get the phone numbers by grabbing phonelists at meetings, asking for numbers when I meet someone knew, or having my sponsor suggest a couple numbers of people she knows.

You got this! A day at at a time :slight_smile: you’re finally feeling your feelings and that’s a good thing. Keep pushing through the pain. Try reaching out to sober contacts throughout the day!

Are you doing the 20 & 20? Get there 20 minutes early & stay 20 minutes afterwards. Greet people, volunteer to chair & other kinds of service work. This will give you a chance to socialize & get out of your head.
