How do deal with loneliness? I have no friends or close family. Just trying to find some connection in AA groups, but so far nothing much. Very depressed. I feel like it’s just not meant to be for me for find meaningful connections.

I always feel this way and I truly think it’s our alcoholism trying to keep us down and out! You are meant to have meaningful connections and to beat this depression! I’m here for you already✊🏽.
I struggled with loneliness and making friends for a long time too. I highly highly recommend bumble bff the app. I have made about 12 really good friends that way, you can join groups that interest you and go to events that sound fun to you to mingle with like minded people. Making connections as an adult can be really hard, especially sober.
Julie I had to do meaningful service in the sober community and then everything great opened up. Meaningful friendships, real purpose, deep connections with lots of love, laughter and some drama too.
I found I get out what I put in.
I’m here if you want to talk or have any questions.
