Hey guys - today is day 31 for me. Been at this for a year, relapsed a few times. I know patience is key and things take time. I guess I’m reaching out because at 31 years old I’m feeling like I’ve lost a ton of friends and while I understand people grow apart, it would be nice to have at least someone to play tennis with, grab a bite to eat or go out and socialize. I know people are starting to settle down, married or having kids but I don’t want to end up a loner. I know my drinking impacted a lot of friendships and relationships but I never thought down to my core I was a bad person. It’s an uncomfortable yet honest share. Sobriety is my #1 thing right now - guess I’m just hoping down the road, some old friendships and buddies from hometown days will resurface. It’s great to start feeling positive about life, work, fitness and seeing small yet significant growth. It’s unfortunate when you have no one to share that with or at least a buddy to shoot the shi* with every now and again.

You should try some meetings. All my friends are from AA. I don’t know how I’d survive without them.

Yes, go to meetings… you’ll eventually find some friends but definitely work on your recovery first
