It sucks because most people don't talk to me I'm trying to do recovery and people talk to me in meetings but after no one actually talks to me so I feel like I'm isolated

Hey Jerry! This is true for many of us. One way I learned to deal with it, was look at the pros of being alone. Finding ways to be alone, but not lonely (there is a difference in these two words).
There are many activities you can experience alone.
Plus spending quality time with yourself and being comfortable with who you are becoming is worth the effort.
I learned I need to wrap myself around in a "cocoon" some times. It allows me to come out better and grow.
There is value in loving who you are becoming as you change overtime.
If you search for that in others, there is a higher probability of things going sideways. I read love is the most dangerous and rewarding addiction out there.
So choosing yourself may be worth it.
There is value in community too. So maybe invite others for a potluck meal or coffee after a meeting?
They could be experiencing exactly the same as you.
