Lonely in sobriety. I have 18 years sober, and would like to meet a woman with at least two years sober, but where are they. I think it’s a great idea for women with less than two years sobriety to stick with the women. But where are the long time sober women?
Ok, I got that off my chest. What are your thoughts?

Do you go to meetings? Participate in AA sober activities? I have 9 years sobriety but am happily married. I wish you best of luck finding a sober girl. :two_hearts:

Thank you for your kind interest. Yes, my meeting attendance has been good, and I am looking forward to some of the upcoming sober activities.

What are your interests?

I hope you can too. There have been lots of thorns in our bed of roses, but anything worthwhile takes a lot of work. 19.5 years of blood, sweat and tears.

Hopefully not much blood. Lol

I have only recently moved to Jax to be near my daughter who is expecting her first child. So I am wanting to explore my new territory, and looking forward to the due date!

That’s super exciting! This may sound corny, but I enjoy reading. If this is a hobby you may enjoy, join a book club at your local library. You never know who you may meet😊

Nicole, do you know of any meeting where I might get acquainted with women with good sobriety, preferably over 55 yrs of age?

#16

A lot of them are opting out. Of meetings.keep looking .take time.

#17

Unfortunately, not in your area. I attend a couple zoom meetings but they are for women only.

#18

I wonder what causes them to opt out! Is it profanity?

I've used the online dating site. I never had a problem. We're the same age. The women I've dated didn't seem to mind. I didn't announce it. Most didn't ask and when i told them it didn't seem to matter. I never had to tell anything other than how long i was sober. I never lied. I also don't have a problem if they had wine with dinner. None of them had more than that ori would have ended it pronto. Some even list whether they drink or not. You have nothing to lose if you visit before signing up. You might get lucky.
