Its so hard to find something genuine at my age. I turn 27 on July 14th. Everyone around my age are not in recovery. Which with drinking, its not an issue as long as they dont make it an issue, i suppose. But the moment these people find out im sober, i get ghosted. My sobriety has been extremely lonely due to this.

I hope you find the right people for you! I'm struggling to stay sober since I work in a bar downtown and everyone I know is always drinking.Maybe try meeting people at a kava bar?

How's your gym life? Lots of sober activities there, and I bet there are more sober folks in their 20s than it may seem at first glance.

It's a sober alternative drink, I know kava bars are getting pretty popular but ofc it depends on location, we have a handful in the city I'm in. I still wish you luck in finding the right people!

A lot of people don’t realize how isolating sobriety can feel in dating, so I get it.
But your sobriety is worth so much it’s OK to be picky . You’re protecting your peace. The right people won’t see your sobriety as a dealbreaker. They’ll see it as strength. The right one will come along and it’ll be worth the wait.

Isn’t it crazy how much alcohol is involved in dating? I even have sober on my profiles and I still get “let’s grab a drink”. I don’t mind if they do either, but it leads to ghosting. The dating side of this app is a great idea. I just wish it had more people.
If they cant respect you enough to be there while your in recovery, then they aren't true friends..
Sorry dear but been there ! You just keep your head up and rite the correct person will come into you life sooner or later ! Keep up the good fight dear
I am forty nine and I’ve been sober since 2001. Good luck! I am not saying it’s impossible and maybe I am looking for the wrong thing in women but I’ve been trying for twenty four years and I am still single. Not to be hopeless I am in the position that I have to approach. Which is really weird in public. Plus all the sexy women seem to drink. If it looks like a duck walks like a duck sounds like a duck it’s a duck. Chance are she was alcoholic anyway. At least it’s been my experience. Maybe I shouldn’t be looking to ultra attractive women. Which to me is a no brainier because I meet many attractive women in recovery. But I still struggle with it. I am trying to find someone to be with right now and to tell you the truth it seems hopeless. But I just bought 3 $90 shirts and one that was $170.00. So the benefit is I have all kinds of extra money to spend on what I want. So while it is a pain. Worker way has its benefits and I am doing it for me. With financial gain because I’d rather have my money and be selfish than be in a relationship with someone who is currently using, whatever. So it can be selfish in that sense. But stick with it. It pays off because even though I may have lost my relationship prowess. I have a ton of money I am compensated with. So the universe has come forth in this sense while I wonder aimlessly looking for love. But I love myself so I’ll do it and if I fail (death) at least I tried and reaped the benefit of having stayed true to sobriety. Good luck! They aren’t worth your sobriety!
I feel like sober guys making being sober their whole personality... I need sober but not no personality
