Missing the social aspect.....in my world full of addicts, it feels like being left out

That is a difficult part of recovery. I find it hard too. Dating as a sober person is difficult also. Then you add that your faith and God are why you are sober, forget about it....Everybody walks the other way.
My personal thought is that you have to go out of your comfort zone and try to spend time with a new sober friend.
I need to work on that myself.
If you go back to hang out with your addict friends, you know what will happen. It is just NOT worth it.
Good luck🩷

I felt that in many past attempts. I blamed it on being shy. I wasn't willing to do anything. I hid in the rooms. Now I started sharing, so my name could be remembered. I got phone numbers cause I was told to call just to call. Home group, & sponsor also helped drag me out of my comfort zone. I still feel like my comments are corny, but improving as I work in the big book. Read
