This app hopefully helps with that. Finding sober friends to hang out with. Who knows maybe your person is here!

I enjoy meetings I go to. BUT it seems everyone else is there because they have to be or they're so quick to get out of there. I still go since it's very close to my house. Good people

I pray to find a connection with someone. Just one . Thatā€™s enough :face_with_raised_eyebrow:I try to remember why Iā€™m there . To stay sober and not be popular and give my ego something to munch on. If I can enter right sized and less needy it goes wellā€‹:wink:

Love my home group . Literally my family. Ive shared everything there.
That transparency really pays off in the long run :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Even though it can be very difficult for me personally, I understand that itā€™s important to just find a distraction. Whether itā€™s a go to a meeting, reaching out to a fellow, sober person, or whatever,, the best thing is just get out of that feeling, and donā€™t drink no matter what.

I donā€™t see it as a scarlet letter. I go to meetings, ask for phone numbers and make phone calls. I go dinners with others from meetings, I go to AA sober events. I pray for willingness to seek connection. Connection is the opposite of isolation.

Connection is the opposite of isolation. I love the prayer you shared.

I'm reading comments for advice also! My marriage ended a year ago. We were both alcoholics. I'm doing my best to get my life together. It can get very lonely at times and maybe there's nothing wrong with that? It's OK to be lonely. Better than bad company! Haha

I'm ok being alone for the most part. I think it is and can be good for you. I was with my "forever gal" and it ended. Small town problems. She lives less then a mile away and I have to see her with another guy more often then I'd like. That's part of it.

Kinda same boat...mine is about 2 miles away! Also small town. It's very difficult I understand! It sux! I was daily drowning my sorrows for a very long time. Healing is a process it seems. There's times I'm ok and times I'm not. I've contemplated forgiveness to no end...especially the most difficult of all forgiveness of myself. I was/am no perfect angel or blameless in the destruction of our marriage. Being sober brings so many feelings to front...even though it was a year ago I didn't really let those feelings be felt. I drowned them. I have to forgive myself for that too. I did the best I could at the time to just survive a broken heart :broken_heart:
